Weighed and Measured

By -Oz-

'I have been weighed
I have been measured
and i have been found wanting'

i am the moon
locked within pandora's box

i am the death
that is seeping through your mind's shadows

i am the corks
that block your nerves

angels and demons
silence is my curse

my love is Aztec gold
but you are my vision, blocking the light

as i stare through the grass
and beyond to a world i have no control of
it is you standing above me
watching me bleed
