#hanged
I set upon the Grotto, where the hanged men dangled, dear. Those desecrated corpses, no longer held their fear. I fashioned up an axe, To **** the living, certainly not the dead. See I’m taking out the demons, and nightmares inside my head. Through dusk and dawn again, I hack away with glee. Happy little madness, please end this ****** tree.

Rotten Apples
The playground is getting dark It’s almost time to go Finally I smile and lean my head back And then I go and swing some more My neck strains as I'm Swinging to and fro Isn’t this playground lovely? I laugh and swing myself some more. I tighten the rope a little more There’s still a little way to go. But better safe than happy So off the shaky seat I go Swinging to and fro. I dangle from my rope There’s nothing left at all There’s a smile on my face As you watch me Swinging to and fro.

Swinging
The hanged man A satanic symbol A cup of blood made into wine The death of the divine His flesh made into bread that we eat in silent reverence for the dead You were made to pay for our sins But we still live on your grace A miss shaped agonised face You are said to be immortal A portal to heaven Where we can all live in paradise We just have to drop our human vice and be forgiven and believe But did you die only for a story? That an apple was picked from a tree You took a fall for Adam and Eve and all humanity Or was it just an elaborate con That our civilisation leans upon That we are taught that we are inherently evil Or else we would live, love and forgive Perhaps the universe understands that humanity lives on a see saw one day you're on top, tomorrow you're in free fall The one gift we have is life However short Love each other understand others like you already knew You don't have to be taught.

The hanged man
I gave you the strings of my heart For you to untangle, Or maybe create an art But you tied them around my neck, Pulled the end And hanged me high instead

NO AIR
A casket prepared for me. Hey! Hey! Look at me, see the death inside a riverie. Hanging on a tree, life is no longer waiting, my body is baiting for a popular cerimony. I practise witchcraftery. I predict my death near a riverie. My body is naked, my skin ripped out, my eyes turn to blue. I give my life to all of you. Life and death at a riverie! 11/11/2014

Death at the riverie
Hang your head in darkest shame. Allow your hair to blow gently in the wind. Tighten the binds holding you together. Step up to the rope. Look at your sins, they finally pulled up. Feel the unsteady plank beneath your feet. ***** and bare, your exposed. Helpless, the rope is around your neck. Consumed by guilt and shame. Gasp as everything beneath you falls. Silence. Your lifeless body sways peacfully in the wind. It was comimg, you saw it, this brutal end No longer can you play this bitter game of pretend.

Hanged
I h a v e f e e l i n g s that form thou ghts, that form words, that          form sente                 nces, that                       form rope,                         which ties                               itself into a                            noose. Your                              words are also                    a rope, that saves me from drowning.
