we found the causal nexus, miss tyler.

i.

Jakob—
it's odd, knowing it's been a year
and yet your name still gives xylophone jitters
down my frozen-Jello spine;
I should have known that you'd still hold me tight—
what matters a winter's passing when the bitter remembrance still remains?

I still sing songs about fallen frightened royalty,
her broken-ice-crown freezing her white skin
as her black-dyed eyes stare at he who took away her humanity
and left her nothing more than just another wild animal to add to his collection—

and the melody still feels like my cage
in the twisted strains of your oddly perverted reality.

I am Alice reborn today;
as those around me bathe in hot vermillion lifeblood and call it
"love",
I am frozen tight in your dead fingers' clutches as I swim— as I choke—
as I drown—
suffocating in navy-blue tears of valentines past
that no-one will ever see.

ii.

Zachary, your name was; I knew this from the start, though you were far from the one who told me;
it reminded me somewhat of my brother, and I clung to that thought that your names could somehow make you the same entity
as I felt myself slipping into your lime-green influence—
that crackling halo of electricity that held me enthralled
as just another moth trying to escape the perfect death
while still yearning to return to it, wrap its small body inside it and be warm for the split second its tiny heart still flutters.
you caught me on fire far too quickly and left me in empty ashes

again.

and yes, it hurts, but sometimes I think pain's just what I need—
that darkly insidious spiderweb sickness that you incite in me can only be cured by a blade's caress, you know.
slice my heart into tiny pieces so perhaps I might stitch it back together and be beautiful for once.

iii.

clear the floor for my hazy-eyed superhero.

              Umm... I don't think I really have a favourite. Actually, I think I might, but it's not uploaded here and I forget where I saved it... But I am partial to this. And, if you get really, really bored one day, I have a series that makes me happy.

    "and yes, it hurts, but sometimes I think pain's just what I need— that darkly insidious spiderweb sickness that you incite in me can only be cured by a blade's caress, you know."

    Sorrowful, near the end it almost made me cry... T-T
    Beautifully sick and incredibly deep, I love it.
    Thank you for your entry. ~Angel
