Amongst these seething animosities,
There's one amongst these, my favorite anomalie.
I pine for just the thoughts of what I means to breath
But sadly, I have to live in this reality.

Don't stumble when you flee the dark.
Don't wipe your hands as you rip my heart.
Don't cry with my head in your hands.
The tears are more than I can stand

As I sit, cold barrel to my chin,
I wish I would have never let the demons in.

I pull the trigger, I let them loose,
My own fingers, have tied my noose.

My head snaps backwards with the force of the blow,
I see the blood now, it's time to go.

Blood and brains paint the wall,
Softly, and slowly, I begin to fall
The Scarlett pools around my hands,
Put an end to my big plans.
But I don't mind. I'm at peace.
I mean, I have no mind, except a piece
But what is left of my brains, they'll surely do
Because all I have to think about, at the end, is you

You ask me what drives me
And there's no more to say
But to leave this untimely
And embrace hairs of gray
To live through the days
Forget all the past
Dance in more plays
And find love that lasts
So when I'm old
Dead and decayed
The stories I've told
Will be ones to display

The steel slides slowly
Carving out creases
The subject lays lowly
Snipped into pieces
Its last breath a ragged sputter
A death rattle to make most men shudder
It brings comfort to me, allows me to breath
Funny how, my breath causes its to leave
It filled me with joy,
Plunging the knife
The subject a toy
Killed out of sight
This is a story, you see
Of the day I killed agony

Will I see you again
Before winter sets in
Will benevolence, strong and pure
Remove the malice we endure

Will I see you again
Before the ocean in your eyes is gone
Before your bones erode and move on
Sailing on the river styx

Will I see you again?

Through eaves and eaves of solitude
I grieve because I miss you
My soul cries out for comfort
And finds nullity.

I won't see you again.

You shall see my vacant eyes
Glaring indifferently into yours
And even while yours cry
My eyes stand as open doors

I am vacant,
Empty of me

I won't see you again
Because dead eyes don't see.

The step lies before you,
Begin your ascent
Out of the hell
Out of torment

Look on the bright side
The sun steals your eyes
Turn a cold shoulder to the dark moon
And realize

You could not endure the night,
The wolf stole your clothes
A wolf in lambs clothing seems to fit
A monster no one knows

The cold slipped around you,
But you ran on and on,
Not letting your body feel the nip
The bite of the frost
Or pausing to see your bare body
Robbie Lamb Jan 2018
Paint me a human from ashes
Normal as can be
A heart here,
A mouth there,
But spare him his mind
Ignorance is simplicity.
