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
