I see Melancholia as she struts on by
her lips painted blood-scarlet, raven-haired, dressed in black and fishnets. We look very much alike.
Her sister Euphoria, I'm not so familiar with...
her sun-golden hair, and her smile that floats through the air. She's lovely, I wish she would pay me more visits.
Melancholia gives me her melted smokey-eyed glare,
Euphoria, her pink-rose cheek smiling stare.
Melancholia is an old friend of mine.
Euphoria is a stranger to me, but I hope to know her better in time.
Melancholia stops to talk with me she says "Would you like to see a grin on my face?...
well, you'll have to carve it in with the sharpest of blades
it is only then that I will be allowed
to show you my smile of Glasgow..."

but I have no desire to see the bleeding dagger teeth of Melancholia
I don't want them to dig into and puncture my fragile glass mosaic memoria...
If they do my memories will shatter and break apart
and I will lose myself along with those cracked shards.

Peculiar human she was, with shiny delicate scales...
underneath fragile skin so pale.
She played two roles, one was crowned and wore a broken halo...
One Queen *****, and the other a semi-angelic hobo.
She traveled from place to place,
and she traveled quickly, as if it was a race...
and to her the many suitors were her homes.
She lived inside their beds, and gently ****** away their souls...
and then left, disappeared without a trace.
Why must she break so many hearts? And in such haste!
You must think "What an inconsiderate *****!"
So **** worried about becoming a bore...
and yet everyone else was the source of her ennui...
Even a million lovers couldn't fill her void inside.
And how pitiful...She was absolutely beautiful.
Like glitter she was stuck in my skin, a sparkling syringe so delightful.
Injecting her majestic into my thin little wrists,
and she left me, another broken empty home, with nothing but the ghost of her bliss.

Eros has claimed another victim…

This I must admit, this sin.

This time it’s you, struck in the crossfire.

It must drain you much like a vampire.

I've seen your wretched purity.

I've seen your disconnected reality.

Mind like a lacrimosa, unexposed…

You wouldn't show it, but it floats,

fragile, sad, empty ghost.

You match my dreams…

you attract my screams.

For love and for hate…

It’s much too late.

You, angel with the tattered wings…

You, devil on my shoulder, enjoying and destroying me…

You’re the source of my euphoria…

You’re the source of my melancholia.

You’re a drunken kiss and a broken bliss.

What shall I do with this? Why has this all gone amiss?

Sorry, little angel, but I’m going to have to drag you down…

off your cloud…you’re going to hit the ground…

face-first with dirt…and debris in your teeth…

you’re going to have to allow…

reality into your mouth…

You’ll appreciate the sweetness of ecstasy,

but you’ll hate the bitter aftertaste of agony.

You see…innocence never lasts…

In fact, it fades fast…

but don’t shed any tears at all…

Everyone falls.

I once considered you my protector...
but I realized you were just another hunter
tearing me asunder.

No longer blinded by past memories
now I can see what is really happening.

You are the rust on my halo,
you are the tatters on my wings and soul.
I am the doe and you are the arrow.

Such a beautiful destruction that you've left behind,
such an exquisite corruption of an innocent mind.

But despite all the damages,
all the clashes, and the gashes
I must again rise from the ashes.

I must pull out this arrow from my chest
and put all the sorrow to rest.

— The End —
