When the days get darker,
let them dim our thoughts

With contemplation of loathe,
dancing macabre

Skeletons pour down wax and slowly cackle
at the sight of human’s craving,
their salvation
Towards untangled
self-torture-bound heartache.

Just like the dripping pain in the stomach that would
Gradually rip and bleed forever more.
Or the stinging needles in the eyes
To prevent us from believing.

We are composed of guilt and shame
Melted by the gluttonous fire of our own
That we ignored,
pretending as if it was crumbs
From our demented lunch as we
Step on our pride,
refusing to acknowledge
Our satisfaction and sweat reflected there.

If life is a candle still, crowned with black flare
Inject me with the stranded white wax
So I could form myself back to my righteous shape.

And I would then burn bright
A swaying blaze of agony.
