Six Deaths None the Wiser

Six Deaths None the Wiser

A Poem by Scarlet Jackal
"

Lyrics. Starting a post-goth rock/acoustic folk project

"
I'm only a heartbreak
in the background of the night
I'm only a holocaust
this Saint would never like
You see so unclear
and so much more in time
I hear the strangled howls of gallows
in every f*****g line

Never rape me of my sorrow
and bleed happiness outside
Don't make that smile reach the surface,
I'll hurt this gal out of sight

I'll kill the angel of my nightmare
to crudely bear its wings
Paint the walls as black clouds
that leave the greatest sting
Hate the summer and spring,
burn it to new life,
I want to know everything
by the law of knife

Never rape me a martyr
or a lover at best,
these eyes show no remorse,
this mind will never rest

I love "paint the walls as black clouds". Such strong imagery that I had to read it 3 times slowly to take it all in. Thank you for sharing.

Who am I? It depends on which one of us you are asking. I am a lover, a poet, a man of romantic ideals to never be fulfilled. I see many things, I count many stars but I never reach what it is my own.. more..
