Crystal Days

A simmering fractured breath Deliciously drawn Permeates my lifeblood Where fetid thoughts are born An insincere promise Impure, misfit ways A venerated oath Wanting crystal days Bound by consequence To achieve my vital aim I whimper like a baby Refuse to join the game Forgive my bloody sins I bow in servile state Pleading for your forgiveness My mind is at your fete Deliver me in whole My scars are plainly seen A splintered soul I carry From a Dantesque scene My ego diminished Rejected by the light A barren, rotten carcass Devoid of any fight I challenge you to want me To fill my empty heart To open up these eyes Before I come apart Hold my withered hand Rejuvenate the skin Into the very marrow Your love I hope to win.
