find hell's cold rock in your heart
that intangible talisman.

no one crafted it, but its inscription speaks
speaks in riddles of blood
which, pooled hard around the rock
accentuates and beautifies its fatal premise.

but see, the blood spreads and blossoms like flowers
around the Stone, a sort of sanguine cymatic...
I have no idea where you are from or what you were thinking
prior to reading this, you could be anything!

So what one thing could I say that would be true?

Retract, far futured blood
Curdle into the sacred rock
The holy blackness that eats scabs and pain
Retract, so that I can breathe now
And enjoy the beautiful music of God's creation
I walk until my feet are sore,
Running from the demons that rattle my core.
All I want is to rest my feet,
And savour my demon's defeat.

Forget your smile,
Forget your warm eyes,
Forget the way you made me feel.
I can't forget the ways you changed me.
I can't undo the ache inside my heart.
You told me we would make it,
but you never said I'd have to fake it.
