What You Say

I won’t feel right in this skin till I’m perfect
I’ll find no freedom from this heartbeat unless I’m dead
Affirmation is the gloss of true happiness
That is no easier real than said

Not even the wicked deserve eternal damnation
And my everlasting breath lies in dying
What troubles me now is Evil
But Evil was created in seven days
And a day in a thousand years isn’t why we’re here

These thoughts and pen on paper
Through years upon decades of summers
Here, in old hearts that disappear
Memories writ in sand shift and swell
And now you say this is the reason we are here?

You say ‘I will love you, but not this you,
And not like this’
This hello is just an insincere goodbye
You have four loves in your language
And insist that I must give my penance or I will die?

I say your god is this, Truth and Lie
Your god is Love, and he is Vengeance
Your god is One and he is All
But will he take the Fall?

Flesh

art by @Endling(TheArtingStarvist.)

 

I am flesh
A walking sheath of barbs
The pinpoint of pleasure
Full of every annoying nag
Demanding the deep
Singing it’s real
The only thing I think I feel

Heavy links cuff him
While I am dared to carry them
Whilst I am dared to love him
And at first glance
There is a crave for connection
Affection
Lustation
Frustration
 
All I have is the nothing
Covered by death
I am flesh
Just flesh and blood and bone
So long as the path I walk
Is a sheath of barbs
You are the only thing I think is real
