I locked and lost myself
alone in a room
no place to go, so

I misplaced me in the mirror
but I couldn’t take my eyes off her

something lurks
behind her eyes
they're glazing over,
things spilling out

it seems
she’s bleeding out
all over herself
she feels, she needs
to cover herself

I escaped me in the mirror
and I wouldn’t return for quite a while

I locked and lost myself
alone in a room
no place to go, so

I misplaced me in the mirror
but I couldn’t take my eyes off her

something lurks
behind her eyes
they're glazing over,
things spilling out

it seems
she’s bleeding out
all over herself
she feels, she needs
to cover herself

I escaped me in the mirror
and I wouldn’t return for quite a while

in my reflection

I remember the dead leaves
and the dark corner
I tucked myself into

and I remember
how the chill bit
as much as the metal

difficult decisions
neither here nor there
in the nowhere wood

trapped between a rock
and a sharp place.

paper-thin skin;
crackle, brittle, split.

discarded,
disposed of me
and the leaves.

the dark wood.

in a dungeon in the suburbs
in a castle with no king
(not one she can see)
a girl, under lock and key

in a house haunted
with ghosts of the present
the air grows thick
the walls ache at night

pray, pray
let sweet nothing
hold me tight and
cradle me in silence

she’ll sleep for a millenia
while days pass and grow long
veiled in the in between
no one will know she’s gone

pray, pray
help me, i’m afraid
my bones rattle
my heart is crushed

her tower burns
like ashes to ashes
but she’s still there
collecting dust

My Father's House

pretty please
just let me rot
until i'm something new.

what am i when i'm alone?

peel off my skin
and take my eyes;
replace them with
unseeing stones.

slice me open
and feed the flies;
they’ll strip me down
til' i'm just bones

and then from there,
we’ll go.

picking at bones

Here lies something new
like you’ve never seen before
a venomous Creature
just outside your door

She’s hungry and greedy
with Talons and Teeth
this monstrous Witch
Fiending for a Feast

knock knock.
She’ll find her way in.
She’ll lurk in dark corners.
She’ll feed on your sin.

Guard your bitter heart
from Her lockjaw maw
this dreadful Bitch
will eat it raw

While I grasp your throat
and squeeze,
Beg and Plead and
fall on your knees.

And just when you think
that you can’t breathe,
then tell me, tell me
what do you think I could be?

a Gruesome sight, covered in Gore
here lies a Woman
like you’ve never seen before

Her Embrace
