A Teardrop For Blood

I cannot carry on,
Drifting beneath the canopies,
I pass a rotting song bird,
A sign as the sun sets for the last time,
In search of a home for my bones,
I've torn myself apart,
Over something I can't fix,
I reminisce over past days gone by,
Shedding a teardrop for blood,
Thriving off my own decay,
When I'm forgotten,
You'll be given the comfort you needed,
A warm place to stay,
As my days remain grey,
Though before I'm gone,
I mark these words in stone,
Engraved with one thousand razor blades,
In scathing blood, my body swayed.

Looking Glass

Don't glimpse toward me,
I'm not one to see,
Disdain in those eyes anew,
I bid thee, adieu,
Dancing upon a teardrop,
In celerity, please, stop.

Melancholia

When the reflections of memory collapse,
The bleeding colors of grief dyes my heart,
By hands and knees, I creep to where love abides,
The circle rides the coil all around
Storms of fury turns the tides of bliss,
Thus brings a trap, a cage to the abyss,
Oh, so high, the walls I aim,
Only outside the window panes,
Through these sunken halls of shame,
To where the winds propel the rain,
My soul crashes upon the shores,
Where I found mine, and you found yours
It seems the captain was deranged,
Fished for love but landed misery,
Swallow pride and yearn for more,
The vessel collapses, sail torn
A stranger in the mirror, by the looking glass,
A danger in the view, not seeing past
Who are we now?
