Life
burns me...
a mere glance
flays the flesh
from my bones,
leaving burned
scarred, husk
of fleshless skeleton,
broken wings,
shattered limbs,
whispering,
whispering,
let me in...
darkness let me in...
take me,
love me, bleed me free
of sanity,
let my sympathy
run dry,
let my heart
beat die,
sever me of my tears,
bind me to the painless void,
scatter my thoughts to a million
starpoints,
explode my brain unto a billion
worlds,
shrink my heart beneath infinity,
tear my wretched soul into
a million flocks and a billion folds,
strip my emotions, rip them free,
bind them to the stars,
for all to see,
but don't...
don't give up my vanity...
it's the only thing
that listens to me...
everything else...
take it all
just let me see,
my impact on the vague,
ethereal realities...
