Do You Remember 16-03-2017
Do you remember growing up in a broken home
A neon past where depression roams
Where happiness is nothing more but whispers in the storm
and your sapphire eyes couldn't pierce my weakest form.
Do you remember a thousand glisters on the lonely sea
Where beauty and love were fabled to be,
there the sun of your world slowly throttled and died,
A broken mind that I myself have glorified.
Now yield to me each night in bliss,
All you do; is burn rivers on your wrist
and at night cry yourself to sleep,
For I am there, I'm the Devil that creeps.
I'll never leave you alone...
So if you die tonight, let it be known you were not alone,
I was that murderous voice that sapped this dying faun.
-It was not witchcraft why you have gone.
"Temptation clad in silver
Like the portrait above the lake
A scar; a sole eroded river
Leaves everything for this gull to take"
