Funeral Romance

Pale and twitching

stretching blame
as time elopes

Dragging across
      this abrasive hour
to leave a fading
impression
 
Lets watch the world crawl by
as we suffer our immortality

Hide your blank expressions behind glass walls
and  brood over your melancholia
as I breathe your brutality
 
Split a Chelsea grin and be jovial
collect your pseudo blood
as it seeps from your dahlia

Scrape the dirt from under your fingernails
and plant the seeds of your lips to sprout a
mirror image to leech your suffering
 
I'll sacrifice my empathy for you
 
But I won’t be your marionette

"I'll sacrifice my empathy for you"

I can't do that and by myself, but I understand the sentiment.

Keep it up please.

Wow lol thank you so much

[Tai Ryens]

How darkly enticing, a macabre tale about a lover willing to give their all AND knowing when they are being manipulated, and how to deal with it. Fascinating and grotesque, well done.

"I'll sacrifice my empathy for you
But I won’t be your marionette"
Always a pleasure to fall to into your words. The above closing lines were my favorite. Thank you for the excellent poetry.
