They library was hushed
The faceless man
Across the table
Quite
He tells me
Stay silent
You wouldn't want your mommy to hear
Would you?
So naive
A child could be
I close the book
My attention caught by the closet
Small footsteps
Cautiously taken
Afraid to be caught
Palm on the door ****
I open it
Inside lies a beast
I'm petrified
Scared to blink
But the beast slumbers
On a burning photo
What are you doing!
The faceless man yells
And now I'm terrified
He's been awaken
The beast won't let me go
I've made him angry now
Only my screams echoing
Through the quite library
To keep me company
A reoccurring dream I've had since I was a child

A tearful squeeze to appease the screams, and release the dreams of a thief.

Humbly washing my hands of the blood of the lamb, i am what i am.

Discrete.

With love for man, the hand has turned the other cheek.

Free will is obsolete against a scripted destiny on repeat.

Talk is cheap as i complete my feats with the creep of wolves among sheep.

Wear their eyes in compliant surprise, walking blindly into the blade.

Defy their demise, stalking, and tryingly to portray the fate of choosing.

Flawed in the ways to delay the winner losing.

Baited and switched

Self redirected

The wicked enriched

In the city's burn

I can't hold on any longer
I can't fight anymore
I'm all out of hope
I cannot be stopped
Just one tip of the bottle
Just one slip of the trigger
Then nothing else will matter
No one will even care
I'll have no more pain
I'll have no more sorrow
It'll all be gone
And so will I
