Metal Torn between Forgotten Corruption and Jarred Dissection
By: Kerry and I
A forgotten tear dwells behind my sunken eyes
--Expressionless as the tears begin to fall.
(Lacking care and acceptance of what is right)
I hold on tight to this thin existence,
--Bearing in mind it is so low in status--
Lurking in the forbidden night,
Allowing all to tread in my thoughts
--My body surrenders to the ice,
My heart, beating cold-so cold
(Blood is slowing in its tracks)
Torn anguish falls onto the horizon
In neat piles,
Changes color and toys with the mind of a dozen.
Shadows slipping onto your face
(Becoming an unfamiliar shade)
I stand there bleeding--draining
(This bitter-sweet feeling)
A faint voice whispering across the waves-
--Torturing my eternal being,
Drawing my fears from within.
(I’m scared to be without you)
A dark cloud opening,
--Lightning streaks through the grey--
Drenching your soul with frost, thrown down from the gods,
Only to conceal the false presence-
--Lying dormant inside
Contracting violence-erupting hatred
Behind closed eyes.
Metal bars surrounding my soul,
(They’re slowly splitting open)
Wedging their way through my bones
Trapping me, consuming me
I’m running on empty.
(No other way to be but here in your arms)
Someone drag me out of here
Give me life and share out hope,
Bring to me not despair
But only to the person that I want to know.
The pages, blank…
As if mocking me-
Much like a clown
With its eyes dissecting me-
Aloof from this world,
Remaining only to stir the morality
From the body obtaining my soul
So that is in the end is worthy,
Separated from the silence and sorrow
I stowed in my pocket.
--Pausing, I peer through the threshold
The darkness waiting
Calling out to me
Daring me to return,
Beckoning my bones to move
--I look away
Ashamed of what I’m about to deny.
Curiosity enters my veins
-Filtering out through my airways-
Stretches out my face for the world to see
My neck’s immovable--jarred into this position.
So far around me
I beg for tears, I beg for mercy, and most of all I beg for sleep,
On impulse I drop to my knees, passionately pleading.
But none of which is handed to me
On a silver platter-plated with gold--decorations which intrigue me...
Shadows haunting, corrupting the vision unknown
Looking outwards, I see the light
Beaming back at me -- shining a pale glow into my eyes,
Piercing my hollow surroundings
As if reaching out, trying to awaken the lies.
To take hostage deep inside the nightmares
Bewildering my soul in a time lapse.
The raging sea below, violently crashing
Bearing the anger that my soul only knows
I can’t climb out of this shallow hole
I’m drowning my faith in another dimension
As my life is pulled away into the stars.
