1Cast me away
I'm just going to die
Eventually one day
Take away the pieces
Make me whole again
No, on second thought, don't.
I need time to begin.
You can have my flesh and mind.
Steal my thoughts
Dance on my body
But I am not controlled in one part
I still have my soul.
God loves me.
That much is true.
I walk down the alley.
Sewage sprays in my face
And I wonder if mankind hates me.
Or if God one day said
Let no one be this child's friend.
These wings, they need stretching.
I need to feel something.
Love and caressing.
Stroke the white dove
Until she begins to bleed.
Rip me to shreds
Burn me away
I'm not what you think I am
And neither are you
Perhaps you'll find out somewhere
Somehow
Someday.
But go ahead,
While you still have power
Use it for evil
You've always wanted to.
And I'll sit alone
Crying to the four winds.
Why does anyone hate me?
Who really cares?
I'm supposed to be powerful
But the power isn't dark.
I stand alone on the brink of death.
I see the stones that fall.
The cliff is high.
I spread my arms in silent repose
Perhaps I'll fade away.
I fall back into tender sleep
My bruises fade.
My mind clears.
Childhood fears.
Ring around a rosy
Pocket full of ashes
Kill the child with words
Make her feel outcast
For being smart and pretty
Innocent
The last.
No more will ever be born
Unless she gives birth to them
And even they won't be the same.
They'll be half and half.
One mind in this world,
The other in the next.
She doesn't know this world.
I open my mind to the silence.
A ringful of melodies play
Kill me now or don't.
Have courage or be a coward.
Your choice.
The blade wavers.
Come, you coward.
I thought you hated me.
But no, you're just jealous
Jealous of the melody.
You can't hear it, can you?
Smell or taste it on your lips?
The end is soon in coming.
You'll know it when you see
The chariots rising in the east.
I begin my mending
The scars fade away
Moonlight on dark shadows
Skin of white marble
Hair of golden sun.
Wings wrap around me.
I'm safe, again.
Hold me, daddy.
Cut me with your knife.
Make me bleed a thousand deaths.
My back is full of scars anyways.
The child looks at me,
Her blue eyes chalked with cold.
I embrace the girl.
White wings molt their feathers.
The hill becomes a valley.
Suddenly, the child and angel disappear
As one being walks forth.
A sad song cries to the breeze.
Her hair is torn.
She stands alone on the brink of forever.
Eyes drizzled with silver.
As the last knife is stabbed into her back,
I cry.
The rag doll no one wanted
Lays in the river.
I pick her up and cradle her.
This world is cruel and dangerous
It's minions many and few.
The wire runs into her body.
Her eyes close in peace.
Maybe this world is temporary.
Eternity in a boxed mind.
Emotions upon emotions
Blue ribbons in black fields
Sonnets yelled through trumpets
Wings used to mourn and heal.
The halo appears, cracked.
Can she look away?
No.
She must not.
This is her duty, her calling.
Must I heal this world now?
I put my soul up for bargain.
The world on the other side of the scale.
She is born unlike the others.
History repeats itself.
