the world is ugly

100 30 21
                                    

lies, count them one at a time

charred metal against vacant, stained eyes

broken black walls and splintered glass needles

pound on the door of my heart and rip me through like lightning when you go

in a sky laden with secrets

in a sea stung with the smell of regret

it isn't hard to find something to cry for

its isn't hard to find someone to die for

it isn't hard at all

you're beautiful

from the blade in your eyes to the collision of your kiss

the sound of forgotten songs ricochets

as I sit with nothing but your shadow

bless me, bury me, tie me up and behead me

but don't let me go

i won't forget the ghost I loved
