watch the emblem invert
this confidence is not gone
there's crime to commit
your fleet to farewell
sharp bon mot and silk
they'll capture this place
I'd save you in this moment
but in lace you'll sink
and sway once more

oh, severe, rest next to me
you've been abandoned but
you don't speak of it
finally, don't betray me, don't
you're merely a hanging novella this time

-c.j.

Crying tears of acid,
Beneath the burning sky
Watching with rage, the glowing embers
That seem to smile, floating by
Wishing for the doom,
Of everything in sight
Ripping the heart of innocence out,
Hungrily taking a bite
Deep within the folds,
Of my souls hidden pages
I hear the mournful cry of love lost
As the battle for goodness wages
