keyholes
By boundandfallen
i see a man with a
purple rose pricking his fingers
on all the thorns
and he is bleeding
i am running down a
forever hallway
peeking through the keyholes
and i am bleeding
he's so much older
with an eternal fear
of losing all he holds dear
and my lips are sealed
they've been
slowly
.
.
.
sewn
.
.
.
shut
keyholes
just a little absense of matter
but they let in so much light
while hiding in the darkness of the doorway
laughter,
coming from inside my brain
i think i am going insain
because sin is my new game
and i love it
it feels good to be so bad
all the love that i once had
went into slowly
sewing
my own lips shut
keyholes
in everydoor
and i want more
i'm flying
while binding my hands
i cannot touch
and i cannot feel
and i don't know
what all's real anymore
keyholes with no keys
empty matter
and nothing matter
like my soul
and the needle and thread is
kept in the rooms behind
all the locked doors
with all my secrets and
all my dreams
and with no mouth
no one ever hears
my screams
just keyholes
and the man with the purple roses
holds the needle in his hands
and my heart in his teeth
just keyholes
and empty doors
to his mind
i'm all alone

My favourite lines are "keyholes just a little absense of matter but they let in so much light while hiding in the darkness of the doorway" - that gives me an interesting mental picture to ponder. Ciao, T/S

I like the 'slowly sewn shut' part. I can just imagine the pain that would bring. hehe ~MS~

I love the tension in this- sort of a controlled surface- or mask with chaos underneath. The visual of the man with the rose is acute enough to feel it. Fantastic write!
