The Widows Lament
By Malice In Wonderland
Lightning forks
Darkened skies
Blistering the serenities
of the scattered constellations
Ripping semblences of the nightly
calm to shreds
And I'm but the rusted iron
bars of your not so guilded cage
The melody to your fingernails,
Broken and bloodied
scratching a frantic sarenade of escape.
And I'm strychnine laced
Devouring
What was once
Solid stones
In gluttonous apathy
I'm
begging you
On the inside
And this facade only lasts
so long
I keep seeing our names in the sand
Washing
away
Retraced in frantic efforts
To see them stay.
And I'd do any t h i n g
To keep us together
If IÂ wasn't so busy tearing us apart.

You hit a home run with this frantic, unrequiting, thunderboomer. The emotive love banter is perfectly interspersed into the thunder storm. A scintillating piece of art.

lovely and dark, yet elegant and paced, softly jagged, with lines like "and I'd do anything to keep us together if i wasn't busy tearing us apart"...painfully delightful
