Grinning Creature

A confession from the sunlight Is just a part of the darkness that waits I will breathe when it comes out As I reach for the moon that holds sway I truly love my deception I love this creature that needs to arise Every feast brings it closer Every hunger gives sight to its eyes Only ice to remember The dying child that was given more pain But then some light when he found this He held the stars and I laughed at the stains Quietly I’ve awoken Never here, but I’m always inside Silently you have noticed I am the heart that still wished you had died Between my love and lack of feeling I do not care which extreme points the way Between a life and my own death It does not matter as long as I laugh and play
