Implosion

A look at the darker side of myself...

I thought I was safe inside myself
But now I feel so violated
My every thought- subject to critique
My every hope- annihiliated

Blood leaks from my eyes
And leaves me seeing in shadows
So I fall to my knees, deseprate and blind
And for now, nothing else can matter

My heart breaks open with an ethereal light
I'm vomiting swords onto a Persian rug
My stains are all but removeable
And I'm falling into the graves we've dug

I pull a shovel down with me
And bury myself underneath
The dirt that closes out the outside world
But leaves just enough space so I can breathe

I've locked myself into Dante's Inferno
Trapped in a liquid crystal lake
And if I make a single move
All my bones will twist and break

Skeletons dance around my head
Singing wordless macabre songs
They've been kept in the closet far too long
And now they're airing out all of my wrongs

Their sinew-less movements are rough and jagged
They dance to Sensemaya
The laugh as I douse myself in kerosene
And light myself on fire...

Wow..
You just let your darkside loose. I hate the word "images" because it's so over used, but that's what you created, image after image of dancing bones,an open graves, and a world between death and life.Very macabre. Rain..
