being a kid it's like nothingness
you don't move you get pushed
no mystery from which to steer
wide eyes blind
...sometime ... me?
the color of blood
she left on the playground
justice and a fist
and paper sugary things
like smiles
in a handfull of teeth
ripped apart
... you know
it always terrified me
clothes?
kissing the pillow
doing it on the...
comes to .
come down
what its like to? shadows?
edging, scraping at you
fear, heckling
moving around you
I always feared
the bloody ring
the broken flesh
the words without hearts
the human bodies like a predator
and then it comes
dragon's ring
a dirty excuse
for an angel?
straw & black feathers
clacking across the floor
like change cracked from the guts
of the tooth fairy
...wings of birds?
broken flesh
it's fingerprint is sliding under the pillow
lifts with its hands and
extracts the gift
to pocket a piece of skull
and checks to see if the chest moves
if i knock out every tooth of
everyone who that tried to break my body
and covered them up with a pillow at night
for monsters to take
then at dawn i'd be rich with pennies
and the blood left behind
the nights i slept
over at your house
you'd to anything for me
watch over me
protect me
watch me sleep
we'd sit in bed and read and read and read
and spill tea on the sheets
sometimes we'd read and run all night
when i was five and you were alive
all around the house
and smoke and get behind
i dream
i'm walking to where you lie
your hair
gone grey
silver
and raised off your face
the shades remain unchanged
i slowly went to the room and walked to the bed
to check your pulse
if you were still alive
and i'd spend the night
i knew you'd never leave me
never leave me behind
the smoke and the static and the light that came thru the shades was the same
the shadow and the static and the light that came thru the shades was the same
x2 more (variations on shadow/smoke/static/light)
the smoke and the static and the light that came thru shades was the same
the smoke and the static and the lights and the shadows that came thru
shades was the same (w/tara)
was the same as your skin
your mouth was open wide
but there was nothing left inside
the tv static rolled
grey gone cold and alone
