Aug 2013
I've gone beyond the wishes of every restraint.
My mind has revealed every betrayal of the saved.
Tonight, I walked in my old shoes and kicked down the same door.
I've literally marked the grave with the same cloth that has brought me,
limb by limb, to this ****** day, abhorred~

Prickles and thorns,
have your way with my sins and make sure upon the dawn,
I am reborn, once again.

Dusk,
I am the red in your sky,
bruising the eyes of the witnesses and
discoloring the skin of those passing by.

Twilight,
I the obscurity, am, too, thee.
Bend my metal gaps, fold my wooden trees.
Tear my spirit from my flesh and vaporize me~

Let the cells of my hope rebuild, yet after another mistake.
I am ready~
