I Would Kill Those Who Taught You To

cry Take the breath of those who blew air filled with anything but adoration in your direction broke myself within the glint of light that held too long on the curve of her eye babies can't produce tears why do they learn is gravity trying to pull the depression from me her shape applauded by satin folds if all could see her as i do the dead and dying refusing to look away would litter at her Feats i would allure What if when i die the evils get to see me That fear of the unknown that letches from the shadows you will see me you between them Uncannily unsettled i will hear you from the steps of death in both directions words haunt her lips with hopes of reutterance and shadows mourn of the places that it can't touch
