Poison breath 
Don't forget
The bell that sings
When emptiness rings
Is a pitch black tune
Scalding even the moon

She was a smile
She was a scar
She was a fatal shot
Embedded in your heart
Lost in the wind
In the piercing waves
Nothing like bitterness

Shadowing the days
She was a viper
In the quickly sinking sand
Closing in swift
When you lost solid ground
She was the darkness
In your eyes
Clouding your judgement
With the kiss of her lies


The heat of the stars
Boils the blood in your heart
The call of the sea
Drags you beneath
Your poisoned heart
Is falling apart

He was a fire
He was a storm
Bleeding in lust
With passion adorned
Tearing you down
A hallmark of pain
Lighting your turmoil
Like fire in rain
He was a whisper
Pummeling down your spine
Flashing like secrets
That you hid deep inside
He was like torture
You could never escape
Intoxicating vapor
That drove you insane 

Poisonous delirium
Your madhouse colosseum
A windowless sanatorium 
Is your dream scriptorium
Your eyes fill with hysterium
Like uncontained thorium

You were the thunder
Clashing with lightning
A voluminous cyclone
With rage exploding
You were the phoenix
Burning through the sky
In love with the poison
That always made you die
You were the angel
Of a cold impenetrable verse
Circling the clouds
Trapped in your own curse
You are the rage
That screams in the night
The tears of the silver moon
Always have been your delight

A scripture stolen
In decay is fallen
Something is broken
Behold the token
It set you apart
And now you're at fault

You were a candelabra
In love with the rain
You let yourself drown
And killed your own flame
You were a dream
Lost in the nebulae
Your frozen core
Turned stardust to gray
You were a tantrum
Of the churning Volcane
Clouding the heavens
With ash untame
A million trillion feelings
But you only find shame
Spilling out into your heart
For it remembers your name

How deep is sadness
Is it deeper than madness?
Cold fingers clutch me
Loneliness is so empty
You are the reason
We are not imprisoned

I am the widowed spider
Destroying this love
A fever of darkness
Spiraling down from above
I am the rain
That puts out your fire
Playing the strings
Of a faded lyre
I am the sadness
That depresses your being
Yet still the only embrace
Where you can find meaning
For I am a crossroad
In this despairing journey
A chance for blessing
In the unrelenting sea
