starring daggers through granite eyes

a sarcophagus of dead compassion filled

another skeleton for the overflowing coffin

sititched eyes caress forbidden flesh

seraphim stab wounds from the serpentine choir

forked tongued whispered nothings

an angel of slotted eyes sent to deliver the scribbled sulfuric lies

icy veins through frozen words will bleed for you no longer

i will bleed for you no longer

a magician's sword in her side

the welcomed coagulation around the nail in the simian's hand

yet another failed atempt at being the martyr

the act bleeds trasparently into a dried well of pity

where patience is a deceased forgiveness

hope he was worth it, hope he was worth us

feeling the once forgotten stinging familiarity scratching at the vaguely reminiscent scars

digging up the bones in the adulteress's closet eclipses the ever-dimming ray of hope

illuminating the delicately fallen petals of our wilting bouqet of razorblade roses

as the lies unfold, a true form is revealed

see you for what you are, swallow hard and open the wound again

forsake the world on the liar's pedestal

take satisfaction in the mask's virginal reflection

when the black hearted arrows of cupid's bow decompose

charred friendships will be the only remains

enjoy choking down the ashes of a purchased soul

love kills when it dies.
