Unnoticed
Baby, when I picked up that knife
And danced with the devil tonight,
Bleeding in the gums from sadistic delight
Gripping my insanity with all my might.
I tried to hold on, didn’t want to let go,
Loved to sit and watch this show,
As I paraded around this circle of pain
No corners to hide in my disdain,
Laughing from the recesses of my tainted fame
Eyes rolling in guilty shame
I watched on.
Long gone.
From sanity’s hold
The icy needle feels painfully cold,
Tasting the sweet death on my lips,
The blood red skin bitter-sweet to kiss
Paranoid flesh jumping at a sound
As I clenched my jaw around
A greying soul sinking too low,
Ripped at the frail shell, as it fell
I lost control. Did it show?
Screamed in the mirror, broke the glass
Cackled at the horror in the shards,
Wanted to laugh in your god damn face
As I howled in disgrace
Tearing at the flesh that burned my soul
But you’d long lost your hold,
Too far away, worlds apart
So to Lucifer I gave my heart.
It was black, small, he wanted it all
Gobbled it up, then a disgusting hiss
Leaning in for one last sickening kiss
And I, resigned to what I was…
Wept at your memory in a brief twist
Drew my small hand into a fist,
Why aren’t you here, to save me, dear?
Can you even understand?
The hollowness of this barren land
That has become me.
I’ve lost all hope; it died within, now with his manic grin,
The last tear froze on my cheek; I gave my last guttural shriek;
Whilst you assumed I was peacefully asleep.
