to you, i am exception,
that for love, you'd do anything
you would move the sun and the heavens
if only, you could see me a little longer
in your arms, i am light.
i dance on clouds and pull on the strings of a lyre
foolishly, i wonder and i worry
but ask, is an angel ever a burden?
to your ears, i am harmony.
indifferent to the songs and notes of many
but when i sing, you smile
and kiss the parts of my mind that were chaos
to you, i must be a god,
made of worship and prayer
yet, even an all knowing being
couldn't have seen a love like yours
know that immortality means nothing
for it is only a skin of myself, that i'd shed
if only, to be the one that you love
i would certainly face death

tw: body horror
my knees weep, their purple hue give way to spilt prayers
and they taint, and corrode, and they don’t stop
among all that is good and all that is pure
my hands dig through black ash, dried earth, cracked stone, only then, decomposition, am i certain,
i know what the maggots know, and nothing else.
my head unravels. question after question. the left eye reads scriptures, tears through testaments, books, and golden halos. but the right eye sees burning light, then just darkness, then nothingness, then the emptiness of all that nothingness
my chest is a flower, sores and bandages pulled into the shape of petals. this is the birth of something new and the death of billions
shards of stained-glass crawl to me. in all their light and glory.
when they find their way inside, i will give them flesh.
deep into the earth, i pray. but all i find is a body, my body, a cruel replica.
i pull the glass from my wounds and pierce its eyes. I pull it out. It seems sharper and larger, the more it touches flesh. so I use it again. written in to every corner, my findings, the days that have passed, my hopes, my doubts.
this god knows suffering. if not one body, will another be enough? i have prepared my sacrifice.
i close my eye.
light seems to pull itself, from under the ground. even i can see it peek through my fading consciousness. but as it comes to darkness, all that i hear, is a whisper of my name.
