You look my way

and call the poison from within me.

It's ugly, just like me. Forgive me,

I must dance. I can dance to

dazzle you with lies carved from introjection.

Let myself go and fall into perfection.

The art that wanted, hollowed out,

the crevice spirals like a hallowed pout.

I flood your eyes and pass you the flame.

I ask that you light my eyes

now that I am only porcelain.

The bird has flown far far from home
where none will ever find her;
she left behest a vacant nest,
and crumbs as a reminder
of all the things her mighty wings
have borne of her creation,
and now she's gone to fly anon
and left a ruination

Far far from home the bird has flown
and time is ever fleeting,
a vacant nest she left behest
in silence of her beating
her mighty wings; of all the things,
she knows the sheer elation
to fly anon, and now she's gone
to seek her own salvation
