“Plague Bearer”
Her touch, her kiss
Causes only sickness
Plague bearer
My touch, my kiss
Plague bearer
Damnation, her caress
This coffin shut with painted nails
More and more she is less and less
Slit wrists can’t help but harm
Scarred skin can’t help but hurt
Some words are better off
Unsaid and unheard
Old words for new wounds
Scars upon scars
Conceal the wreckage behind her eyes
Even demons dream of heaven
And when will she have given enough?
Bled enough, cried enough, taken enough?
To find compassion in calloused arms?
Devoid of hope and out of mind
She can’t make them care, with stolen words
And a heart mended by hate

“Magnificent Desolation”
She broke the skin
And watched the words flow
Fell from clouds
Dripping off her face
Meaningless love lost to the Earth
Wasted on her
These words fail
We swallow every pill, we cry every tear, we choke on every word
We live with it
She doesn’t want to live with it
I am magnificent desolation
These words
Wasted on her
These words
Fail her

“Dulling Silver”
Comfort in capitulation
Always knew she’d take until gone
Swallowed shame, devoured hope
What if this is all she can be?
Armed and armoured in hate and discontent
Crumbles in the face of her beauty
Something wrong with her blood
The way it flows
She would give anything but it wouldn’t ever be enough
Half-hearted razor
Lost its taste for self-abuse
Can’t muster the hate
Break the skin
She would give anything but it wouldn’t ever be enough....
She’s a vision in black
Painted blue and covered in red
These tranquil moments come
Only in bottles
The darkness the light shies away from she can’t bear
Dulling silver
Carve caring into her broken shell, rotted flesh....
Bear witness to the purity of self-abuse
And be saved, my child
