The Night Mare's Smile

.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm just a child whisked from these cities of dreams,

blinded and pulling these broken doors closed behind you.

Self-destruction keeps pumping it's venom,

 

as I seek out another puppet's point of view.

 

Something inhaled my dreams right out of my mind.

No reason to run. My sin weighed a ton.

Why do we never start livin'?

 

I feel so alone and unforgiven.

 

I crumble under the weight of the night mare's smile.

Eggs in the corners are beginning to crack.

Misery severs my legs forcing me to look back.

 

I have become a bitter soul, in my sleep I never die.

 

With a heavy heart and a morphine pump,

someone on the ledge just won't let me jump.

Puppet man, just hold me tight,

 

I don't want to hear death sing his one lone song tonight.

    This has pure verbal power of creating almost concrete visions with striking metaphors dear poet

  • wow dear friend this is deep
    you penned forth a drip from a pump
    never to dream a song again
    never to sleep from the pain within
    as God comes and carries your spirit
    to a place to heal and well loved
    Hugs Angel♥
