Am I the dead?
Am I the life you stole?
You see me through you eyes
As I wonder if you smile with deceitful silence.
Shed your skin and show me your heart.
.
Blackened by the light, wander in the darkness.
I'm shrouded by your essence
And cry for my love, I cry for my life.
Why am I suffocated by your beauty?
I feel trapped in my padded mind.

Haunting through the words you've spoken
I echo through your hollowed laughter
I drift through you guzzled tears
And drown from its screaming bubbles.
I see through your eyes, as you forge my agony with your words.

Slit your throat, bleed on your clothes
Lets spin the wheel to see where all this goes.
You rape all that I once felt, slaying the innocent monster I was.
And of fire and flames we shall burn
Through the pages like passion.

At every word and every look
You slice my flesh like splintered bones.
Taunting me like the remains of ghost children.
Clip off your feathered wings, my angel.
For the only way to love is to fall.

We're swollen in the shadows, internal cavities so unclean.
Content with who we are, our veins reveal our seams.
With this broken glass I ask you to mimic my agony
Blame me with the regret, and I will take the shame.
Like a shattered djinn, I am your slave.

Every kiss intoxicates me, your lips made of morphine,
Your saliva of smoke and whisky.
As our hands touch, my veins feel the rush.
As our eyes meet, I still wonder if it's deceit.
As we hug, it's heroin. Relaxing, divine.

I’m broken like your sanity
Dilated like your bloodshot eyes
I'm corroded like your innocence,
Stained forever by your faded smile.
I am the dead.
