Gone A Little Rotten

Her angels will never be told

how obsessions were chosen her hassock in her throne

to comfortably praise them with breathing flames

and wings on her fingers;

to speak out of hand.

Loneliness, as she keeps an evil, accompanied

to play with curiosity with wagging tails.


She does not want it.


How dare she rush waves toward thin?

to try and decoy sand betwixt her palms,

to strangle prisoners living beneath her eyes

begging cold for their thirst


Madness towers over her obsessions.

With coy knuckles, they knock on lonely doors

alive to breathe the despair of a caged bird,

though she fears not wishing upon starless nights

one day for a haven to welcome her with a feeble mouth

and scars to justify uncontrollable yesterday.


Every caress of craze gets harder to breathe;

it grips every arc on her bones.

Every hour, unwanted war inside her head

scribbling wildly with no direction in Eden,

only to see the hands of Eva painted on her

leaving the external confusion somewhat powerless.


She does not want it.


There were atoms of little hopes

dancing inside her lungs.

As her soul smokes death,

slowly, she suffocates them one by one

'til she couldn't get a glimpse of the sun.


Her mind screams, her mind screams!

Screaming like trapped through blades of angry veins

echoing beyond their red-eyed walls

until it cuts the rhythm of her heart

until it splits her wings in half

that she wouldn't flee from silent killers she created her own;

to build and destroy.

To build illusions she once desires

and to destroy saints with unspeakable tales.


Stop. Enough.


To be able to sleep while obsessions battle against 

who would put the success into oblivion,

who would sing with failures a lullaby—unspoken.

She never wanted that she has gone a little rotten
