it is give.

By Exodus


The dry wet sound in the back of your throat.
Its all coming back to you now.
You’ve made a bad mistake.
You wish you would die.

Things I haven’t heard of so horrible they need crossing.
Dotting of the secret eyes that spy inside my heart.
They’re telling me to leave.
Wrap you in ivy.

And bleed the last sun x shining shred of your soul
Smiling back at me and the cuts on my knees
Not good enough to exist in the same reality.
So called for the good and you wanted to hate me.


But you feel now and you know how I hate
How I love.
How I got you good again this time.










good enough.

    This peice expresses to me the sentiments felt at the end of a relationship. It spells out the fine line between the turning of love to hate. Passing the pain off to the one that caused it.

    Interesting ending, and the line Purr mentioned - as well as "sun shining shred of your soul" - are both awesome. And I like the idea of wrapping someone in ivy... why the x between sun and shining, though?

    the second line of the second stanza... damn, that is excellent. i keep rereading that one! :) great piece overall, and the...quietness...of the closure is especially effective too.
