Blood On the Whiskey Black Moon Grave
Bodies in
a bag.
Wires in
ghostly white
light.
Souls wearing
hearts of
gold.
Knives edged
purposely against
your skull.
A gratitude feel
to end this life
tonight
but stay.
Hold the flower
in your breath
and fear lonely tears.
I believe in you
a shell in the
sand left with nothing
but the sun blinding you.
Scorn white snow in
December have desire.
Another wants you.
Alone I wait on a bed
of nails desperately
wanting to surrender
this night instead
your heavens kept you
locked under this world
of the dying.
I can't keep your thorns
safe.
Beyond this life seeking
your truth.
Knives carved in
the shape of your
heart.
Blood on the whiskey
black moon grave.
