Reflection
Light licks my unwilling eyes
As I’m forced to stare
Who’s there?
I don’t know where this wrongness ends
And I begin
Listen, listen, listen
You wear tears as jewelry
Claim I’m the manufacturer
While you show everyone who will look
How it’s been polished to shine
And dine on the dinners it pays for
I am naturally Unnatural
Comfortable In the cocoon of chaos I am
That opposition you present to hate
But secretly bate
It’s fate
Right?
Claim I’m day disguised as night
And pray that I’ll be prey
And trade the dark smoke I’ve been stitched with
For hymns and Him
Disregarding that for me
He is less a memory
More an ever present nightmare
That leers and feasts on fears
Masquerading as adoration
You and I are lie and lie
Patience and ply
Player and toy
Artist and unamused muse
Views collide as you ‘guide’
Me to self annihilation
You want a nice summation of this
Memory of me
Sanity
You say, is leaving me
While you steal away my silences
And gasp
As it hits you that my alliances
Lay with the fire I’m supposedly damnd to
