I am Ruby Red eyes peering into the window of your soul I am the creepy scratching that the leafless tree is tapping upon the glass in the night My smile is a gaping maw begging to swallow you whole I am the heart of your fear that you cut into pieces and dined on in elegance I am your surprise package Yours to unfold Hidden in the deepest layers of tissue and delicate lace Is everything you wished for and nothing you wish to face I am something/nothing/exactly like you I've danced along treetops only to fall into a pit scrabbled sideways into a hole I couldn't fit I've cursed the day I was born and I curse the day I will die because mortality has robbed me of the voice that could make me Fly Fly my precious Seek surcease in the arms of those that would only want to hold your light higher than your heart Desist of your sadness it beats like poison in veins Madness is just a beginning Bleeding from a subconscious will be just a start Spit out the remains of bone that are caught in your teeth Only the marrow of Heart and Soul will feed you in your grief

I am something/nothing/exactly like you
I am Ruby Red eyes peering into the window of your soul I am the creepy scratching that the leafless tree is tapping upon the glass in the night My smile is a gaping maw begging to swallow you whole I am the heart of your fear that you cut into pieces and dined on in elegance I am your surprise package Yours to unfold Hidden in the deepest layers of tissue and delicate lace Is everything you wished for and nothing you wish to face I am something/nothing/exactly like you I've danced along treetops only to fall into a pit scrabbled sideways into a hole I couldn't fit I've cursed the day I was born and I curse the day I will die because mortality has robbed me of the voice that could make me Fly Fly my precious Seek surcease in the arms of those that would only want to hold your light higher than your heart Desist of your sadness it beats like poison in veins Madness is just a beginning Bleeding from a subconscious will be just a start Spit out the remains of bone that are caught in your teeth Only the marrow of Heart and Soul will feed you in your grief
Well... will you look at that! New words!
