Opal Black

Opal Black 1d

It walks with me in the shadows
Ever growing, ready to swallow me up
The darkness creeps up without me knowing
It's only a feeling of dark and cold
Like a ghostly hug from death itself

Wherever I go, It follows obediently
It will never leave me, always be there
Sometimes, I almost welcome it
Sometimes, I want to catch only a glimpse
of the shadow where death lives

Opal Black 6d

Fire's warmth

Heat creeps up
Light flickers
You seek the warmth the fire offers
It guides you home, through darkened shadows
It's warmth hugs you,
keeping death from you

But don't get too close
For one wrong move the fire will consume you
It's never fully safe, yet you chose it to protect you

It will burn.
It will swallow you whole,
leaving nothing left
Yet you dance in the fire like you're with an old friend

Don't get too comfortable.
Don't get too near
For the fire is not the friend you made it out to be, I fear.

Remembrance

Do you remember? Do you remember me?
The fog cleared, I’m waiting where you told me
I remember, I remember some of you
But I can’t recall anything about me too
What happened? Where am I?
I should remember. I came to this place for you

But why? I do not know
Why can’t I remember me and only half of you?
Is it wrong to leave? Even when you don’t remember anything?
All I know is you wanted me here.
All I remember is that it was something important, I fear.
Do you remember? Do I remember me?
It must not have been important if our remembrance is impaired.

Vengeance

Drip, Drip, Drip. Pools on the floor
Drip, Drip, Drip. You should feel bad, but want more
Blood runs a river,
Eyes darken just so
Drip, Drip, Drip. Blood falls to the floor

Knife sharp, cuts deep.
There’s no remorse so it seems
Dig it deeper, twist it just so
It was vengeance, you see so nothing is wrong

Drip, Drip, Drip. Clean up now.
Drip, Drip, Drip. Wipe away all the bad
The sound echoes,
the splash paints a picture of your vengeance.
Drip, Drip, Drip. So who’s next? I want to know.

Life Vessel

Swallow me whole, I beg
Attach me to your bones
Weave me through your veins
If you leave, I go
If you die, I follow

I’m your vessel giving life
I’m at your disposal even after I die
Use all of me, Don’t let me go to waste
For I am at your disposal in every way

You didn’t ask, I didn’t say
It’s unspoken, intertwined in our brains
So keep me close, Keep me there
For I am your breath to breathe life into you again.

A bird's Song

A song is sung
A song is felt
Constantly heard,
From the chirps of birds
Birds dance
Birds sing
Emotions are felt
Through the song they sing

If you listen it’s there
If you feel it, It’s felt
But do are you really feeling it?
Do you really listen to the bird’s song?

A dance, A song
You watch as it plays along
Colors flash as pitch change
A song is just a song
While the birds sing

Greed in Death

How does one want death but not actually want it?
How does one crave something so violent but can’t go through with it?
Something so feared yet worshiped.
Something that lingers, following you in constant.

If you want it, it leaves, but when you feel free it comes creeping back in unwanted
Does that warrant concern? Does that make you a bad person?
To not want the unwanted now, but only when convenient to you?

Death doesn’t bargain, no, death doesn’t pull favors.
It will take and take until it’s satisfied. But when is something ever satisfied when it could have more.
