within the ashes lies the silence

By theBAC

come hang with me tonight
in the tree of deceit
allow our haloes to fall from our heads
to our necks
& provide a noose
our eyes will bleed
but tears won’t fall
there is no one in this world
who deserves them

the wolves will howl
in the distance
the cicadas will chirp
& moths will circle
our flaming eyes
but tears won’t fall
there is no one in this world
who deserves them

at least no one i know

    this was ....hmmm can't find the right words.; subtly beautifull and saddening.
