Water
droplets
glistening in the sunlight
When the sun sets,
they’ll turn blood-red
When the moon comes up,
it’s silver they’ll shed
My memories slip down my cheeks,
And disappointment leaks
Out of the little red chasm
That’s formed in my skin
I express my insanity
With an unreasonable grin
Pay no mind
To this crazy little girl
Listen not to her ramblings,
Ignore the cracks in her skin
One day, she’ll simply break
And the world’ll be a better place
Ah, the voices,
There they are!
Whispering their little lies again
Gossipmongers wring their hands
Even they can’t spread words
Like my demons can
There’s just two things
To keep me sane
So that my life doesn’t simply wane
A kiss, warm and true,
Brings a flush back to my death-white cheeks,
And words scrawled down in the dead of night
Remind me of magic.
