Gracious jealousy

Living by proxy

Mindless devotee

Eyes that cannot see

Oh my god, a blink in the mirror delayed

A hand that can't be stayed

Leaning in to a chilling wind

Blinded by a light that can't be dimmed

The sweetest pain is the flavor of sin

taste the fear and let yourself right in

Specificity

Synchronicity

All these questions, I cannot answer anymore

Who will comfort us, when we lose, the illusions we bought

What of the justice, blind me taught

What of the ease, to discomfort in thought

What of the meaning to life, for which we fought

What if it was all for naught

What of the answers we saught

What of the comfort, that it brought

The truth

Brings both

Smile and

Shudder

Actions

Causing

Blood to

Splutter

A view

Covered

Crimson

Color

Bitter tasting wine and wafers stale

When thoughts don't count and actions fail

All these questions

Where to go

What if we are mistaken

Terrified, not breaking sweat

Promises, and empty threat

New thoughts, devoured by old

Disobedient, do what's told

Regrets, but done is done

Pain that gives, but soon is gone

There's smoke in the air supply

A doomed obsession, of being second to none

Our good intentions, makes us come undone

Garbled words of reason, under buzz of flies

I'm forced to blink, but I closed my eyes

Garbled words of reason, under buzz of flies

I'm forced to blink, but I closed my eyes
