drifter..

you are all i need
as the breaking heart is strung out
high as a kite
and the harness is breaking
drifting down on tides of stolen joy
can't make it to the bottom
craving for stability
grasping at solid airs and graces
personality's malfunctioning
giving off the scent of depression
and an after taste of guilt
just go and find a mirror
all i hear is  " look at me!"
nothing in the mind
but a cloud of steam
spilling out the ears on a chilly evening stroll

Dont care for much of her silly lies
as they drift slowly from her tongue
her past is intertwined with mistakes of centuries
long past their use by date
and i gasped many silent prayers
that this day would not come to pass
as the silence is again warped by her lively tongue
spreading the ink of treasonous mortality
nothing to smother the sound
as my eardrums crack and bleed
the time it takes
till someone rescues me
will move too slow for comfort
that is if i am not beyond saving even now

people start to whisper
as i'm moving by
can no longer hide in the shadows
can't shrink from my own demise
the shreik of 'monster!' dogs my steps
as i stumble my own path
that all knows leads to the gallows
and many wish the heat of flames to hasten my step
the unwanted and unbidden i strike on
for this night will not be my last....
