bleed the nectar x (decadence)

By Exodus

Death, like sugar melts over my tongue
Shimmering in the summer glamour
In her eyes, she dances barefoot in the grass.
Cutter image like a swift blade.
To alter reality.

We were all in love with dying
As were breaking into our brand new loathe

And she cuts, and she bleeds and we all find our own.
Spilling over onto the hot asphalt.
-so jealous-
were made of wine as you swivel and drown
And it was soon over. And the crystal dissolved into our veins
Making us real

Again and again.


The underground city, two miles to go.




x were flooding the streets x
-trying on the gun-
and soon too soon we are gone like you.
Gone like you.

    We will all be gone, sooner than we think. Existence is infinite, and after this plane is an eternity of another, where time is not. time is a ridiculous measurment.

    Very abstract... I particularly liked "trying on the gun"... that was very well done. The beginning's great, too, as epigrammatic said. Rock on, X!

    "death, like sugar melts over my tongue" a thrilling darkness emanates from the very first line, and flows thru the whole piece. breathtaking ~db~

    these scary images are beautifully expressed. The last line is very powerful.
