~Badlands of the Heart~
Walls breathe quietly
Watching silently
She’s sleeping
Dreaming illusions
That teeters on reality
But brush against fantasy
And tremble
Then are gone
So still the walls they breathe
As the Hourglass must retrieve
Its sands
As they trickle
Through her fingers
As she watches
But she’s sleeping
Dreaming nightmares
And dying in her soul
For she’s lost all control
Of her heart
Because it’s bleeding
Although the moon controls blood-tides receding
Her emotions become a poison
Pumping venom to her eyes
She sees the world in disguise
Looking for some simple answer
To why her heart lays in her hands
In shattered pieces still and cold
In time and times of old
We find ourselves in the Badlands
And the Hourglass has lost it’s sands
Once more the walls they breathe
Her chest a sigh does heave
Once more and still again
Searching for an end…
An end!
Something whispers
Hush now, wait
Badlands always send for those who fail
To beat the Hourglass
Draining fast
Hourglass, it speaks no more
And Badlands have at last
Closed the door.
~MINE~
He told me to rip my beating heart from my own chest and place it in his hands.
And I did.
He is my drug of choice, the addiction that seizes my breathing within my lungs.
He is my God and my endless legion of Gods.
My blood forged Idol I built up and formed within my soul, with my own hands, my own voice, my own stubborn, relentless force of will.
He is my created Evil. My own Monster who’s iron gates I never intended to lock. The razor I allowed to be embedded in my heart that slices with each beat.
He is Mine.
But He was never Mine.
He is the poison near my lips I crave. The tempestic waters I step into just to drown myself over and over.
He is where I will land when I finally step off and let myself fall…
And He is the edge I stand on.
If I let Him go…He won’t be Mine.
If I let Him go…who will I be? Who was I before Him? Where will I go? Will I remember how to breathe? Think, Feel, Speak, Dream without Him?
He is Mine because I call Him Mine…my Heart knows I lie. My soul knows I lie. I gave Him the words, even, to repeat My lie, whisper it to me. Just let me believe it for a while. Just for now.
Let Me just believe Him Mine.
