Senjii Xiii Poem
I draw my hand from the flame
This mortal frame can bear it no longer
Its been built on memories of a present
that has long since passed
The flame flickers differently now
It chases the wind and nothing more
If I had a heart
it might have broken
It might have stopped
and
begun
beating
in
reverse
Trying to turn back time
The day you stood up there
With fire in your eyes
The day I realized that I might want to watch this world burn
But I dont want it to be in your flames
Your heart is the verdict
Not the one who casts it
Call me a hypocrite
Call me confused
Call me unstable
No matter how much I thought I wanted you by my side in the dark
I need you to stay in the light
I need to know there is at least one ray left
It only takes a single beam to destroy a world of shadows
I draw my hand from the flame
The sun has gone from my life
There is nothing left
Just as there is no one by this now empty space

Senjii Xiii Poem
I cant seem to move from this place
The scratching down the hall persists
Its as if the dark thing were inching itself closer
Its blood stained teeth digging themselves into the stone
Dragging itself forward
Its gutteral growl
a deep
droning
rhythm
Screams of promises in exchange for mercy
Bound hands offering up empty deals for either a few more breaths or the sweet embrace of death
Howls of minds
splintering
as madness takes hold
These are the lyrics.
The walls know this twisted lullaby all too well
Death rattles are no stranger
And here I lie
Knees drawn to my chest
Curled up beneath this blanket of sound
Nightmares whispering 'sweet dreams' as shadows tuck me in
I find comfort here
I find peace
I find something stronger than myself to hold onto
Glass shatters
Break me like that bottle
Its contents dripping dark like blood over its jagged edges
"Tear me apart and build me back up."
"Do you know what that means?"
A whisper so cold yet my heart warms
"All I know is that I am ready."
