smotherA Poem by sea lily
oh suffocating, freeing crescendo
dead man crooning to this girl who is dying so slowly. who steals and strips those that pierce the labyrinthine depths of her shadowed mind. simply existing to exact demands that nobody can fulfil. a corpse puppeteered by life's domineering strings. close your eyes sink into these fresh sheets those white parachutes you change as quickly as those who inhabited them once with you. bury your bare head in them, an emblem of mistaken identity. while the world continues to breathe your weary eyes wishing to sleep your lungs resisting the final gasp traitors to the last. he does not want you, let it go she never wanted you... so let go cease scratching at your prison, this shell gutted through sheer nihilism and neglect. smother me with sleep with sweet cotton caresses my head never to raise unwillingly from their creamy depths. those elusive fingertips that beckon across the void eternal promises that make me falter through the deepest winter through the shattering cold. © 2008 sea lilyReviews
