Myself and I
Walking in the border between divine and arcane
iam the forsaken child
the thunder
that never cracks
the shadow behind the light
a dreamborn god of fear and relief
a fire that never asks to be seen
call me madness
i’ll wear it like a crown
i've been called worse
the gypsy witch
with the marks
who never speaks
ah, but you see -
they never listened anyway
so i stopped talking
because the truth
would burn their ears to ash
if my mask ever slipped
but if it did
could we be ourselves?
you and me?
face frozen
death drpping from my eyes
watching the world go by
through whispers of my amber dusks
but i fear my soul
is a fading light
hardened by fury
if there’s a spark left in me
it flickers like a dying star
so if I vanish —
know it wasn’t surrender
i fought
but everything turned it's face
away from me
and the world already swallowed me up
and spit me out
and I was alone through it all
with my mask on
