REDEBONY'S BOOK BOUTIQUE

I have seen your face Splinters of torment Disecting me Luring me into your seaping wounds Those souless eyes Cloaked in Shadow Mourning the loss Of a spirit Within I have seen your eyes Empty and black a tongue Void of dialogue A gaping hole In a mouth Where teeth are nothing more Than bone

Shadows dance with pure delight A little girl With damaged sight Her vision blurred Her kisses stolen A whisper of a dream on her lips These shadows parade  around her frame Clicking heels For she is game For every tear This sullen child weeps A nightshade shadow Arises from sleep For there was fear when she was happy Elixir when she smiled The potency of her courage Would paint the world A while Now into the purple She's taken a step Yet a stubborn heart Fights with so much Contempt Shh! mama says Dont let them hear Dont let them see For they steal pieces of what You yearn to be A bitter witch A malevolent shadow Beseeches in the darkness Desperate to claim your song

Another self Unmasking pain I loosen the rope You tighten the reigns So much acid From this Nightingales beak Yet this isnt a dream I am not asleep The sandman watches From beside my bed Voices shriek Angry in my head A shiver runs along my spine It was not there Those days you were mine For days we would flash Polaroid smiles at the world Our Joy in infinity Animated girls I loosen the rope You tighten the reigns Determined to relinquish Some of this pain
