In darkness I stand
Into lightlessness I dip my hands
My eyes glow from lies contained
My hands twirl a blade sharpened truth
Sliding the dagger across fragile skin
Feeling my life pour out from within
My life separates into separate strands
Blue, Red, Silver, Black
Blue for emotions frozen into ice
Red for love I cannot make disappear
Silver for a God that should not care
Black for my soul that houses nothing good
They coil around me
Surround me in light
Flicker
And go out
Course ropes of darkness surround me
Mockeries of what was inside me
They pull themselves around my throat
Bind my hands, legs, and feet
Tipped by a gust of silent laughter
I crash to the ground
The earth slowly consumes me
Pulling me into an unmarked grave
Though long before I am brought to suffocate below
The cords around my neck remove me from consciousness
There can be no awaking
Already dead and brought within a dream was I
Where am I to go?
When after life all I am able to do is die into another night.
