Death
Words rip through the night sky
They conspire to tear a hole through reality
A reality created in your eyes
Taped tightly to your mouth is a bill of lies
That you have yet to unroll
And it's constricting your ability to breathe
Like a dying bumble bee, your stinger is useless
And as such your threats often fall flat
As flat as the heart buried deep in the ground
Your eyes cause lightning flashes in my mirror
And the sparks cause my hair to stand on end
It's time I took the scissors and shredded your beliefs
So many times I have been expected to bow to you
To take a bow has been the song of my entire life
Faltering to the commands of the many Gods and Goddesses
And now here I stand with a green belt of insanity
Ready to beat the lackluster starlight from your eyes
Ready to watch them flicker and then slowly die
Your words ripped through my night sky
They conspired to tear a hole through my reality
A reality I created in your eyes
I taped a bill of lies tightly to your mouth
One that I have yet to unroll
And it's constricting my ability to breathe
I justify the reasons for my unintended assassination
With the cookie crumbs that litter the far reaches of space
Filtered through memories of a lifetime of torment
It will not be long now before your statue explodes
Sending shards flying over the entirety of life's greatest gift
This gift is what you unwrapped- Death
And now with a stick of dynomite I give you one last smile
One last smile to fill the confines of your prison cell mind
Which has grown frail and decrepit
Tears filter through my emotional machine belt
And slowly fall into a wasteland where they cease to exist
I turn and the butterflies erupt from your heart
The explosion blinds my eyes briefly
And yet I feel more pure than I ever did before
Death is the gift I give to you
The lonely night has been long and dark.
The absence of light make the surroundings stark.
I don’t know what to do when I cannot sleep.
There are fallacies about counting sheep.
I thought I would just lie alone in my bed.
Sounds all around me infiltrate my ears to my head.
I try to figure out what they may be.
Is it the crickets calling which I cannot see?
I hear what sounds like cars going down the road.
They burden my mind with a heavy load.
I know it’s dark and I cannot see.
There are so many other sounds I hear around me.
When lying in the dark, your mind may play tricks on you.
Sometimes you cannot discern the false from the true.
If you listen long enough, they may drive you insane.
You’ll wonder why you are in this situation so inane.
That is just your mind playing tricks on you.
On a night you can’t sleep, what will you do?
