Death

Death Words rip through the night sky They conspire to tear a hole through reality A reality created in your eyes Taped tightly to your mouth is a bill of lies That you have yet to unroll And it's constricting your ability to breathe Like a dying bumble bee, your stinger is useless And as such your threats often fall flat As flat as the heart buried deep in the ground Your eyes cause lightning flashes in my mirror And the sparks cause my hair to stand on end It's time I took the scissors and shredded your beliefs So many times I have been expected to bow to you To take a bow has been the song of my entire life Faltering to the commands of the many Gods and Goddesses And now here I stand with a green belt of insanity Ready to beat the lackluster starlight from your eyes Ready to watch them flicker and then slowly die Your words ripped through my night sky They conspired to tear a hole through my reality A reality I created in your eyes I taped a bill of lies tightly to your mouth One that I have yet to unroll And it's constricting my ability to breathe I justify the reasons for my unintended assassination With the cookie crumbs that litter the far reaches of space Filtered through memories of a lifetime of torment It will not be long now before your statue explodes Sending shards flying over the entirety of life's greatest gift This gift is what you unwrapped- Death And now with a stick of dynomite I give you one last smile One last smile to fill the confines of your prison cell mind Which has grown frail and decrepit Tears filter through my emotional machine belt And slowly fall into a wasteland where they cease to exist I turn and the butterflies erupt from your heart The explosion blinds my eyes briefly And yet I feel more pure than I ever did before Death is the gift I give to you
