I wanna tell you, But then I’d have to slay you, Virtually and figuratively, Unbeknownst of the lash-backs. Words that are brewed, Halt at the red-rimmed double door, Floundering in a quicksand, And desirous of a disgorge. Everyone’s got a darkness, That threatens contagion, But not everyone’s fleeing A grim spirit unaware. It’s been a gamble, Every resultant road in shambles, An oscillatory labyrinth of pity: For yourself and the Sinister gaiety. A desecrated fortress prevails, Ruins tossed over for salvage, The sole surviving fragment treasured For forging a forgiveness-future.
