FRIENDS I HAD TO BURY

 

a preferred guillotine for my neck 

smooth sailing on troubled waters 

a porous mind housing grim darkness

easy dance for my sanity 

the path I’ve walked and my doings 

friends I had to bury

my conscience pricks me time to time  

they keep me up at night 

my last love destroyed so much 

dashed my hopes and dreams 

that yanked off the last light in me

wrapped me up and parcel me down to hades

my nightmare, my worst fear 

camouflaged to soothe my soul

self inflicted hatred I emit 

giving everyone a piece of what’s deserving 

I waste no time for revenge 

for I bury the hatched not 

a life of take and take I began

you give, and then I break

this heart, this fragile me 

a once upon a time soft and cozy 

radiating all the love ever created 

has become the devil’s incarnate
