Wicked
  Vile
   Temptress

Only she was never at fault.


*you were
Should've seen the signs and walked away.

The best thing you can do today is tell someone you love them.

We're stuck with words in our throats, never admitting how we feel.


Let it go before it's too late.
Fall harder and deeper into the quagmire of love.

Flowers bloom
On graves unattended

Reading from musty tomes

And as I swept the leaves away

Your bones, so yellow and cracked over.

Bending over to kiss the stone

Tracing your eternal sleep

I could have sworn I saw you holding
The most beautiful bouquet growing
From your bones.
"Your skin, oh yeah your skin and bones, turn into, something beautiful."

the lady in red
brings succulent lips
pursed around porcelain

the lady in red
brought voracious lips
wrapped around her digits

the lady in red
bringing seductive lips
clinging around pulsing veins
Mmmm.

We felt the soles of our feet cracking up

As the moon gazed upon our alabaster skin

Silently we went to sleep


And then we woke up to the waves in between us, pushing us away.
"You leave with the tide, and I can't stop you leaving."

Sitting here with heartache

Heart's gone bleeding all over again

Over again and I've never felt so sad

Feels like heart's gonna crack wide open

Wide awake again wondering about you


*Please leave a message after the tone.
A dream about the dream that never was.

We can't fall asleep outside with everyone anymore.

Our own beds are the last line of defense against the black.

The black of the past, holding nothing but rosy sepia.
Let it be known ; whoever we bring into our beds occupy an integral part of us ; lest we lose that too, and never be forgiven ourselves.

You are but the soft growl of a domestic pet.


All bark, and no substance.


Please, I know what I am.


You don't know what you are, don't you?


What a poor unfortunate soul.
And it was so, it took a million ants, just to bring one king down.

they only call you
when their want
exceeds their solitude
"Why'd you only ever call me when you're high?"

A different motif
Belying the similar nuances
Catheterization with anguished looks

Delving searching for reprieve
Eversong and evertone
Finding the beat that doesn't exist

Going, going gone
Help me understand what you left me
Internally bleeding your words kept me

Just what did you mean
Kind of you to keep yourself chained up
Lose or win we'll pass out

Maybe you'll break out
No more chrysalis
Omnidirectional truth

Please rise up with the other foot
Quietly without nailing it too
Rest later, figure what and who you are

So again like the year ago
Time has been kind to you
Unclear your intent was

Vouching for perhaps a perfect moment
Waiting for the definition of insanity
Xanthic your bones become

You are so much more than this.
Zymotic you cannot continue to be.
Now you know your alphabets.

assurance in love is key to skinship
but skinship alone is never enough
for the hole left behind
is always
has always
taken more than what reprieve
it brings.
I wish I knew how to stop.

But all I get is deeper into you, even after almost 10 years have passed.

Bells continued to chime through cathedrals unseen.

On shattered knees, imagery of our dawn settled on the confessional window.



I'm learning to live on without your honeypot taste.
Exude your temptation.

You think you know pain?

You think you know  Hell?

Take a good look around you.

You're just a tourist here, don't you forget that.

  - No Place Like Hell(ome) : НебоScrub

Shrugging off the dust,

Cracking open old scars to see the new skin grafts on the heart.

I was the one who took it all in stride, letting it all unfold.

I will never let anything go untold,
Cause the feelings go on and on.

But I have a choice, this time.

I swear I'll never be there, I refuse.
With tears that stream down my face.
