Garden of Eyes
Scared of the light
So I stay inside where it's dark all the time
It's just me, myself and I
Plying the wings off butterflies
Feeding remnants to the ravens
Through the gaps in my ribcage
I forsake it, licked the stain off
Came in closer, broke the blade off
Dig dirt to the dirge of a thousand revenants
An audience of organic mannequins
Grave bells harmonize
The coffin knocks from the inside
Of the back of my mind where you rot
I see you when my eyes roll back
Ornaments of shame, lifeless through a glass pane
Losing teeth in my sleep
Mouth full of blood when I wake up
I found my God face down in the mud
Torn from the burden of your warmth
Scared of the light, so I stay inside
Captive to time in flow
Reaping all that I have sown
In the garden where nothing grows
Finally alone
In the garden where nothing fucking grows
How much can love hurt
If I kill it at birth?
I never asked for this
I begged for it
