Blood trickles down my hand
as I linger at the mouth of the monster.

I scratch,
I claw,
I fight defiantly.

But it is no use.

The fires of this life
are about to burn me away for good.
There is no escape.

Future's end. Nothing awaits me.
Except a dark circle in an empty chasm.

My body weakens.
The totality of it all
becoming ever more apparent.

Tears drip down my cheek
as I fade away.

This is not what I wanted.
But perhaps
it is what I deserved.

Finally,
In one swift, eternal motion
I am pulled down into the abyss.

And erased by the bleakness
that lies there.

I am not alone.
I just secluded myself.
From the outside world.

The girl in the corner,
Has monsters in her pocket.
Her eyes are dark ,
Shrouded with feathers.
She breathes so quietly ,
You'd barely notice .
She's watching you...
Don't react!
Sometimes she smiles.
And you see the glint in her eye.
The flash of crazy
That you've been warned about.
She moves perfectly
As she glides on shattered floors.
Like the hearts she left in the dust.
She stops.
And looks you in the eye.
And your breath catches.

The sunflower blooms
Beneath a cold heartless moon
On a deep summers eve
In the middle of june
When the nightsong sweetly swoons
The lark from the bough softly croons
On a deep summers eve
In the dark heart of june
The crow flowers true
In the deep dark and blue
On a deep summers eve
In the hot black of june
