Born from gore Into maroon swirls Scarlet rooms House of sanguine Crimson oceans Reflect the bleeding sun Sky of vermilion Carnage of existence leaving Bodies of Carmine World of Blood

Reckoning
I live in a prison with no walls Rattling the bars that aren't there Ankles shackled with no bonds Dare I escape into the world? Failure prowls the streets Rejection closely follows A pack of ravenous wolves, Mouths dripping saliva, Seeking to devour their anemic prey Success in distance stands On the peak of dreams never reached Beckoning me draw near Still I Remain Rotting in this ruinous refuge The guard wears my face The key he holds for me to take

My Own Prison
Do you dream often little boy? Blood draining from her throat Cutting soft butter The blade dancing across her skin Those terrified frozen eyes of hopelessness Her screams for help, Silenced by the glove covering her mouth The sudden turn of her head, As she felt the breath on her shoulder Mud covered boots creeping closer The man in the doorway You've seen him before Haven’t You? A little boy playing with a toy knife

This Killer
Lure me into your arms deception Hold me tight in your embrace Cling to me in your exasperation Extrude the life from my lungs Until I adhere to your last breath

Letting Go
I'm learning to see you again When I lift my head To the bleak air My eyes stich together Pieces of a broken cloud Into your ghost face How I long To caress your cheek, With my dissolving hand To look upon your azure eyes That freeze my heart With rays of artic light Descend from the clouds And lift me into the celestial white.
