The bat was a vampire, sinister and old.
The butterfly breaks the cocoon and gets cold.

The bat reflects in silver hisses.
The butterfly speaks forgotten kisses.
No telling how far they will fly.
A devious smile splits the day from the night.

Before you flee with your new wing.
That bat might drop to you a ring.
A riddled heart brings stumble and stutter.
It cuts the wings and abandons flutter.

If anything you dream tonight,
The bat and the butterfly...

I don't quite know the way this goes.
The message passed right through me.
Far from me, Its thin as dust.
All the words so soothing.
It's name was framed, and on this day
the blender's blades start moving.
This is where we need the suture.
All the psalms are falling out.
Careful not to lose it, and bring this to its mouth.
Even he knows, you shouldn't count the crows,
when your cornered to the map.
There's that one you despise.
During this change.
New plans are made.
Endless counts of service.
Can I attempt to bruise it?
Is all of this allowed?
Am I the only one to use it?
Because of what I saw?
I guess I'll learn to use fire for the burn.
If I'm cornered to the map, you're the one I despise.

I hear your lips speaking.
Your breath slowly creeping down my spine,
So overwhelming, It cannot be a crime.
I hold you, you know me.
Temptation, you *******.
For this isn't our first time.
The hearts heavy beating,
Our eyes steady meeting.
For we are young and in our prime.
Tongue tickles mine, tickles lies, tickles line.
Our minds filled with hope and our hearts to divine.
A hand on your hip and bite on your thigh.
A dose of high notes leaves me begging you tonight.
Eyes forced behind lenses and hair summer blonde.
My hand convincing me to force your head in the pond.
A soft beat, limbs moving, half heart interceptions.
Put your hands up while I check you for weapons.
You know I love you and there is no question.
Please promise me safety from your subtle deceptions.
Tonight I love you.
Tomorrow we die.
**** all the gods that look down from the sky.
A hand on your hip and a bite on your thigh.
The sin that we live drops angels from up high.

When the music fades.
When I'm lowered.
When my eyes cast a porcelain glaze.
It's not over.

Taken my last breath today
All my troubles fly away.
I hope you're there.
Brushing flies through my hair.

Everything becomes a blur.
Forever now I'm sober.
Cross my arms and spread the dirt.
No mamma, it doesn't hurt.

No longer will I take your space.
Paint a smile on my face.
Delivery me from all my fears.
While my memory disappears.

I hope you're there.
It's not over.

We Blink

8 days till the sun awakes the dawn.
Three days past.
We blink.
The moments gone.

Closer comes the time, together you and me.
But the end isn't too far to see.
Simple to fall before our hearts compliance.
While praying that it won't end in silence.

It's difficult to describe the way I feel.
Like a cut on the tip of my tongue that won't heal.

I guess I'm just begging you not to go.
I know it's rather early but baby you gotta know

— The End —
