The Blackened Rainbow Of The Wicked

By DescendingDown

Standing in the shadows of souls forsaken

Soft hands grasp a jagged, rusty blade

I can still hear the echoing of his nails scraping across my heart as it crumbled

Smoking in his palm..

(Fingers itch behind his back)

"Come, my friend.."

Whispers a sinister smirk curling from his snarling lips

The sweet smell of his chloroform words numbing my senses

& I crawl

(reluctant)

On my knees..

(trembling)

My hands pierced with shattered glass

On a dark path

Filled with the stench of a deserted sanctuary in his eyes

& I'm counting the seconds...

Until my bleeding ears go deaf

From the hemorrhaging of his unconscious embryonic mind

Enter: The festering desolation of my descent

As I plunge into the gallows of my despair

& swim through the decaying corpses of my regret
