My snakes
My jewels
My Heart
How cruel
-
My litany
My deeds
My Heart
Actions prove.

My snakes
Circle in spirals
Circle incessantly
I wonder if they tangle.

My jewels gleam in the dark
Like a shocking white spark
But cold rocks warm
Cold hearts.

My Heart bleeds
I need gauze
To pack the wound
So the blood can pause.

Words mean nothing
It's what we do in the
Morning.
It what we do with warning
And how we hold when
In mourning.

How we hold up the deeds
And work when
Work makes us bleed.
It's about the Heart
Behind the action.

The smile on a pained face,
It's the Heart.

I'm not me
I swear it see
Since a teen
I seen a part
Of me that's mean.

Apart of me that's been
Apart of me that knows
Hidden till it shows
Though it hardly
Ever blows.

It's older
Colder
More daring
And bolder.
It's apart as
Much as it is seperare.

It stole my age
Cause older I feel
In turn
And cold how the fire
In me burns.
But for breath it yearns
At ends with me.

Mostly I'd like to
Lay in the Sea
And be free.
But my demon
Makes me live
And evade the currents
Caught in me.

My demon makes
Me me, we lack
Dichotomy.
I'm one with
What opposes me,
In an convenient
Lobotomy.

I never meant to miss out on you
Never meant to fly over you
But am I meant to be with you.

Never did I ever
Come back just to sever
Replay repeat the same
Restart rehash the shame.

Blame
Because you blame me
How I went and left
Because I wasn't the same see.

Just saw a picture of
The one who had me first.
My heart slammed against ribs
So much so that they have
Impressions.

Still felt like less than
The depressions which
Formed when reality hit.
And I was nothing
But
A game.

Snakes and Ladders
Forever starting anew,
Seen circles of adders
Biting their tails
To the bone and through.

You got to move quick
In that place and have forethought
Forefront,
Otherwise you'll fall short
When your works not nearly done.

Beware the Ivory fangs
Flashing in the night.
Let fear butterfly into strength
And sight so you can
See which path is right.

Find a ladder
To lead away
From what made you
Madder,
Remember the feeling
Don't daunt
But it matters.

Snakes and Ladders
Beat at its own game,
You choose yours
But I threw the board
To the flame.
