Dark and Blue
I felt dark and blue.
Dark blue
Indigo waves
I sink into the abyss.
Nightmares come to life
Stepping in and out of the door.
The unlocked door of reality.
The chasm underground
Beckoning those of weak heart,
Come closer whispers out.
But don't look down
The face will be
A reflection of inner mirror.
Practice dying
Your heart of diamond
Never to break.
Suppressed rage
Inward does change the landscape of your mind.
Your shoes by the entrance cry
Knowing they will not be worn
Lending itself to flaws
The impurity lies within.
Arterial blood turns to tears
My body shudders amongst sin.
The finality of a dead end street
Road to nowhere
When destruction is a yield sign.
All roads take you somewhere
Paths chosen by you only
Diamonds with no facets
Uncut and unpolished.
Contaminates rise to the top
Skimmed off by your
Bare and raw hands.
