Burning Ash Black

The candle witch burns 
my sheets.

In and between my 
thorns.

Fires the sight in hell, 
ash black.

My heart on ice.

My blood is poisoned.

I am prevented.

I am indented.

Love cannot assault the 
attack.

I am broken for the 
sake of feeling alive.

I am damaged.

I am good not.

I want to feel why live is 
real. 

Can I begin to be more 
being.

Why can I not smell the 
seeing.

The truth is not for me.

I will not tell.

My lies are walled 
inside the rusted gates.

In the deepest shaft of 
hell.

I will never walk any 
moon 

Nor do I want the cure.

To light as pure.

I will not hide.

I have six to a side.

You do not have to 
worry.

I am not one bit sad for 
sorry.

I do scream.

In my dreams.

Where my tears are 
torn.

With the butterflies.

Burning ash black.

Beyond the path of 
death.

In the clear blue skies.
