Empty Shell
Dark August moon
stealing
each breath
taunts inner being
with feelings
of dread
life without purpose
all meaning is gone
light turns to dark
serenade's
evil song
hopeless am I
to smell a red rose
fall deeper
'n deeper
into black hole
to see not tomorrow
would bring
greatest joy
watch myself
grimace
as spirit
deploys
to hear voices calling
'it's now time to rest'
lift golden goblet
taste...
kiss of death
watch me escape
deep into night
embrace your
aloneness
with mornings
dim light
dry your
fake tears
please...
touch not
of mine
our...
final farewell
when midnight
hand chimes
look in my eyes
now...
lifeless,
blank,
gray...
smell bloodied
sheets...
on which
body lay
slither beside me
kiss coolness
of skin...
make love
to my corpse
wear...
satisfied grin
then...
bring wilted flowers
dance at my grave
feed on cruel
aftermath...
buried ~ in clay
