Sleep now, please
By RibbonHeart
Angry whispers shake my bones from the limp death of my cocoon
Another
telling of the unwise to an eager ear for violence.
I don't believe
in fairytales, only nightmares grace these walls
Shattered pieces
of what we used to be talk to me from hidden spaces.
I'm not yet tired
of my ugly life, but weary all the same.
Dismayed is the only hope
I hold, a little too tight for the still born.
I don't believe we
have met on this earth, yet my eyes hold you like a dear friend.
Beware
the tales of woe and sin, she'll suck you dry with every breath.
Heritage
runs deep in veins, but nothing a sliver of silver can't devour
Pick
out the bruises they left, cut away the memories.
Bathe in deep red,
licking insects from the sheets of our monotonous bed.
Deep down here
is where she lives, look, see, quiet is her voice but never does she sleep...
Inside me she hides, waiting unnervingly, unwavering in her hope
to unfold me.
I am you now, you are me. 3am... Mourning insanity...
