Brink

The lengths I will go to
Keep you on the brink
Of absolute demise brings
My utter delight in the night
Think I thought I saw
You cry out at the injustice
Of all my ministrations
And I just laughed
Never consider the hows
The paths that converged
To bring you here to my
Cliff side as I push harder
Still to the brink
Then down, down you
Must go after all
Once we lost grip on
What is truth and what
Might be your lies
To keep you alive

The Light

Break above my knees
Higher up, Your Highness
For I am the light again
Coursing through my veins
Keeping me cold in the
Dead of summertime
Where I lose in revulsion
Broken above the knees
Bones given over to
Your Black Sabbath
How my mortal heart
Refused to bleed out
As I traveled down
Drawing out life beneath
Skin burned in pallor
For I am the light again

Bitter

Pass me the bitter
Better than waiting
For nothing special
Frozen throughout time
Could not compare
Hearts broken into pieces
Scattered across the universe
Feeling like a little girl
Not wanting to worry
My pretty little head
Yet I am wasting away
These seconds in holding
For more than they could
Give to me in night’s stain
Pass me the bitter
Better than waiting
For nothing after all
