Stitches & Scars

On a long flight home from San Diego recently, I plugged in the headphones and listened to Queens of the Stone Age's, "Like Clockwork" and NIN's, "Hesitation Marks". I closed my eyes and visualized..

Stitches & Scars                  March 2014

 

Hypnotized by her mesmerizing gaze

and psychotic smile

Watching the irregular patterns drip

lovely crimson like holy wine

“Taste my love, it’s all for you”, she said

 

Through hazed windows, tortured souls with suicide dreams

wander through these ancient streets, forgiving no one their transgressions

Yet their ignorance betrays them

 

But inside here, the razor burns so good

O, blissful release!

He reflects upon her stitches and scars

His heart cries and his ego thinks

He can save her… But, he can’t save her

 

Through hazed windows, tortured souls with suicide dreams

wander through these ancient streets, staggering into their regression

Moving to rhythmic gothic beat

 

Calling him her dark angel, her saviour

brings her no relief

They raved for days down in the catacombs

That was not deep enough for her,

descending where he could not follow

 

Through hazed windows, tortured souls with suicide dreams

wander through these ancient streets, with eyes wide open and mouths sewn shut

In silent expression of pain

 

Laying together on the cold stone floor

Naked and entwined

With lips stained from the metallic liquid

He stares into her eyes and says,

“Vous etes dans mon coeur et dans ma tete”

 

Through hazed windows, tortured souls with suicide dreams

dance throughout these ancient streets; they’re all bound up with stitches and scars

They’ll renew again tomorrow
