The cock crows when no blood flows
I awoke in a fret
Shaking and appalled at the hour
That I should be the one
Who is stared down by the glass-creatures
Hands reaching through walls that don’t exist
You were one
It frightened me to a clot
My breathe betrays me
I see notes never been written
Paging through my eyes
Sirens of ghosts and horrific echoes
Drumming across my brain
Like a funeral procession
Violence surrounds me
In my dreams I am never the key
Always a heart pumped with adrenaline
Racing... Always
I jump for fear of being taken
By those fancies you hold
That you lay out your hand with
And I dreaded into hades
Yes, those thoughts consume
This burning candle center stage
Smoke covers all
And I cannot stop this rapping
Like steel on banshees’ doors
Howling down streets lined with neon
Lights flicker... subside
I awake on a cold cement floor
Covered in blood and stone-scared
Like a boy waiting for a beating
Spit dribbling from my mouth
An anguish of those on/off switch recalls
O all the forgotten time
The cock crows and your image appears
And I sweat profusely and tire
Pounding into my bedsheets
Filled with the skins I’ve tried to shed for you
But I am just a boy in a cherry field
Always frightened of whats in front of me
Never been able to hold myself straight
I told you all and yet I hear faint voices
And yet this blood of mine rings like a bell
That you toll daily
And I swill more down to fade into my walls
So beauty everlasting is a sunset
Lined with a lullaby
Wishes by way of hand drip of my palm
And flutter in the wind
Like a feather
Hopefully to reach you
I have given up on things
I realized I cannot be the way I see myself
I must be someone else
Thus I resort to my mask
Sweetness of old, I will pick back up
And wear you till you tire of me
Because you see the ghosts I do
You love them as I do
And they speak through us both
And create beauty, that only we understand
And cherish!
