Lanigma - Hello Poetry

In my darkest dreams have I ever wept Until the tears rained blood into the soil of the earth And roses bloomed like wildfire ripping across plains in a sea of thorns Of red Im time I found the temptation Growing stronger in me with every breath I listened for the call The fox and the crow we became His cunning matched by his own oppression In death, returned my soul confession It was time for me to take what belonged to me To make it my own In my darkest dreams have I ever wept Into the waking morn', my obsession.

Obsession

In my darkest dreams have I ever wept Until the tears rained blood into the soil of the earth And roses bloomed like wildfire ripping across plains in a sea of thorns Of red Im time I found the temptation Growing stronger in me with every breath I listened for the call The fox and the crow we became His cunning matched by his own oppression In death, returned my soul confession It was time for me to take what belonged to me To make it my own In my darkest dreams have I ever wept Into the waking morn', my obsession.

In darkness I found myself Empty through the veins To my finger tips Numb I became Inseparable from the pain The leeches that drew The words from my flesh My flesh from my bones The bones I crack open To feel alive To feel ashamed I'm on my knees and I no longer feel a thing Feel you I long for you I cling to you But you can't even hear me anymore But until the earth has taken me Until my rotting marrow Seeps into the bellow of the lamb I will call for you For you

Without You

In darkness I found myself Empty through the veins To my finger tips Numb I became Inseparable from the pain The leeches that drew The words from my flesh My flesh from my bones The bones I crack open To feel alive To feel ashamed I'm on my knees and I no longer feel a thing Feel you I long for you I cling to you But you can't even hear me anymore But until the earth has taken me Until my rotting marrow Seeps into the bellow of the lamb I will call for you For you

In my bones there is fire It seeps from my marrow It radiates It burns me from the inside out demanding to be heard To be felt To be known I shut my eyes and push back the pain The sorrow I allow myself to become hollow And pure But I am unclean I am filth I am rage There is a fire And it burns And as I rip the flesh from my bones I can hear it whisper It is pure

The Flame

In my bones there is fire It seeps from my marrow It radiates It burns me from the inside out demanding to be heard To be felt To be known I shut my eyes and push back the pain The sorrow I allow myself to become hollow And pure But I am unclean I am filth I am rage There is a fire And it burns And as I rip the flesh from my bones I can hear it whisper It is pure

The smoke seeping from your lungs Into mine Like the venom in my blood Pulsing Reaping Reminding me of the cold in his breath The nails down someone else's back Then back to you Back to me I carve your name over and over Until the words become air In my lungs In your head In my head I find myself trapped in this cage In this life In this love In you In me I am lost In the smoke within your breath

Toxicity

The smoke seeping from your lungs Into mine Like the venom in my blood Pulsing Reaping Reminding me of the cold in his breath The nails down someone else's back Then back to you Back to me I carve your name over and over Until the words become air In my lungs In your head In my head I find myself trapped in this cage In this life In this love In you In me I am lost In the smoke within your breath

For a thousand lives, only one was needed Every lie I told, and infection treated We run together, we run apart We fight the madness of mind and heart I cling to you for one last breath I wish for life, I wish for death And with this promise you have spoken And every promise I have broken I forgive myself with reason Only time can cleanse this treason For you, a thousand lives I give For you, a thousand lies I live

The desperation in your voice Quivered like the arrow In your grasp Hunting for the answers Only time can tell You searched a thousand faces Looking for the one to keep you whole Make you one Lead you out of every breaking Heart to hold Hard to hold I can't feel you anymore Anymore But I still find myself Searching through a thousand faces Begging you to be

The bitter end The taste of velvet Slipping down my weary throat I hold my head towards familiar faces All their eyes Blue The cloth slips around my neck The wool scratches at me Like the claws of a midnight shadow Creeping 'cross the cradle For a whisper For death I close my eyes The earth beneath me shatters Like glass the door breaks loose My body breaks My soul releases from this cage This broken, Withered, Rotten cage. But their eyes were still blue.

Execution

The bitter end The taste of velvet Slipping down my weary throat I hold my head towards familiar faces All their eyes Blue The cloth slips around my neck The wool scratches at me Like the claws of a midnight shadow Creeping 'cross the cradle For a whisper For death I close my eyes The earth beneath me shatters Like glass the door breaks loose My body breaks My soul releases from this cage This broken, Withered, Rotten cage. But their eyes were still blue.

I sold my last breath For a pocket full of memories I would soon forget Because I forgot what it feels like To stop breathing

Briefly I allowed myself to falter I leapt Down, down the wish well I caught a glimpse of myself Smiling Breathing Laughing As the little voice told me I loved you I leapt full force And came crashing down Until there was nothing But me and the waves at my feet I walked on water for you On earth On air I walked on fire for you And as my world came crashing down It was only you behind the glass Ready to pull me out

I need a soul stronger than mine Not to save me But to hold the other end of the rope To watch me walk it To be the goal The end The finish
