Say 10, I Am
My blackened blade buried deep into my chest
pushed right on through my heart is now bereft
Golden blood streamed down out my silver crest
I close my eyes, hold my mind, to get me to my reset
(9)
i remember a time when I chased butterflies with you
But we're running away to get out of things that grew
(8)
Divinity, love that endures forever, we would hide
As the years grew older time showed no signs
that This war wasn't just mine only to bind, but when the ashes fall from the skies the lies
I only come to find, that I fell into a stones cold hell
Lay, in wait, as I walk the desolute landscape halls
Crossing paths with the memories of a gentler fall
(7)
Mind, ripping away my truth, my sight, within bitter
places
that devours the light that I no longer tether
Faces
Shining places, a dream thing, touching tiny feelings
(6)
Guilty and ashamed, a black sun forced by your way
Testing a rain drop if I can still breathe underwater,
Even though it's dry sands of time that I follow
(5)
Like a compelled instinct to catch the chance
Long since,
you only miss,
don't you think I paid for
This?
A blissful,
kiss,
dying wish,
in this,
lasting forgiveness where my only Sin,
was being myself,
But I forgive everyone else,
For not knowing what they do,
but
How much can I turn the cheek before I run away?
(4)
From the self that only tries to get others to see
The acts of violence that they underwent, vastly
Overspent, you'd be ashamed to if you found
Yourself being happy with God using you, isnt it precious? I call it in love, you would too
If you only knew that freedom to see wasn't meant
For you to also be freed,
by the ones that you gave
Divine justice to prove that you fight for what's
Right,
despite seeing on wrongly you fought for
Love that you never knew,
that you did what you
Were told
(3)
but undying loyalty only lands you with crying,
A looming Life lapidary laying in wait with lessons laughing
A little last time to a legermain lost in it's lavishly
Lamenting
liability to leave loosely a lacerated left
Over Lifetime,
leering at the lingering light of limerance
The legitimate,
Liberation will only be known as lies
So who looks to you as the Lord's lachrymose?
(2)
My eyes weep for those lunatics as that black hole sword of truth plunges deeper Into my reset,
New Eyes, I close them,
I say 1, so eternally am I.
