P E T A L S  flaking away from my soul, waking me up to the truth. Soiling the ground beneath it; carcasses fragile and hollow.



D U S T  blown away by the winds, feathering out of sight; the crust, silently creeping away, crowning the sadness I utter.

take a long, good look into my healing heart and melodrama mind. breathe in my sweet, scented words and hold them close to your bleeding, scaly skeleton aching for emotion; they'll cradle your aching soul and sing mellow lullabies you've never even heard of. stand back and delve into my hideous self: take my broken, frail hand and i'll guide you along my compelling journey through the ever-lasting betrayal and heartbreak. never let go... not until we hit the end of this road.
