Echoes
From the last man
In this haunted mouth

Feathery pinks
Deepening blues
Hues
Leftover from when he awoke

Plump water drops
Piercing emerald blades
Passing time that never offered, never gave
He left it all a hollowed cave

Lost, like the birds
That pass me in the sky.
Forgotten, like the dreams
I loved until I opened my eyes.

A wisp of words
I meant to write.
A wonderland that
I wished to see.
None of it compared to him.

Thirty seconds
Helpless to their hunger
I'm cooking you alive
I reek of lotus petals
You adore my kindness, my warmth

Twenty
Can you see my brain waves?
I tried to tell you
You're such a perfect package
You'd never last long

Ten
Can you ******* flame?
My burning hate
Inflating with your breaths
It's never over soon enough

Five
I am sorry
Two
I
One
Love
Zero...
Maybe they'll re-heat you?

Broken bones, broken glass
Bodies are buried, hearts reap ash
Life is a battlefield
We watch magic
We watch it rise
This magic fog that captivates our eyes

The drought comes slow, but the fire comes fast
We're burning alive!
We're burning alive!

Broken bones, broken glass
Bodies are buried, souls are sparking on the pavement
Life is a game
The silence is the glass between us
That refuses to shatter
Our tongues... hopelessly in tatters

The drought comes slow, but the fire comes fast
I'm burning alive!
We're burning this world!

I dropped my eyes,
And they shattered
At your feet.
My tongue is in tatters,
And never speaks no matter how hard it tries.
I have no sleeping flowers,
So it has to be enough
To take the ashen hand
That guides me to my grave.

A pearl in the folds of black,
In the twinkling blooms of light.
The pocket watch your slowly putting back.
Until it all goes out of sight,
And your blinded by the gold gone over blue.
She is all the rainbows in your memory,
But perhaps a better hue.
She is a pearl in the folds of black,
In the twinkling blooms of light.
Until it all goes out of sight.

Stop waiting
Stop speaking
Stop caring

Tornadoes and fire
Water and glass
Words that fit like puzzle pieces
If you say them right

The little raindrops seeping through your mind
The perfect words
That mean nothing

Stop shouting
Stop crying
Stop asking

Magic, illusions
Dreams, wishes,
Hope and faith
Love and death
Stop
