Dining On Ashes I
I dine on your ashes
I choke on your hypocrisy
I sit n tolerate
This mockery
This travesty of me
I feel my skin crawl with…
The worms of this…
My disease
I know how you feel
You brought me to my knees
With your lies and deceit, I cry
Why are you my bane
My apathy and distance
I want to see you gone
Far, far from me and my needs
They are dark, deep, and secret
A discretion I may only keep
I choke on your burnt flesh
Ashes dry, blow in my inner mind's eye
As a false witness to your soul
In this infernal halo of none
I dance the dance macabre with you in spin
I cut my thoughts on your horrid vestige
Touching your velvet-gloved, delicate porcelain skin
I dine on your ashes
I choke on your hypocrisy & I sit
In this room, an echo of me
Feeling this travesty of my misery
I feel my skin crawl with the worms
Of this decease
I know how you feel you
I know you will not leave, not as you came
I feel the worms calling my name
I rise from my knees and stare into the White
I dismiss all your lies n despair
I go to what may come
I slice my new flesh
To liberate my heart
From shadows full of sins
Streaking lights from afar?
I die in your ashes
I choke on your burnt offerings
I fly from this Art
I stare into the abyss,
Full of The White
I fall into bliss…
Dining on your ashes
