Most Bitter Gift

Heart in hand. i hate myself. killing the consciousness. old hope dies to new will as the consequence withers away. needle tipped fingers show me the face of your love. deceit walking on it's own recklessly following. born of what you are into what you've become. shut mouth spit broken words. feelings confined masking the hideous. done nothing to you but true. soft subtle silhouette. slowly sink into a burning backdrop. speaking to you in stares across a shrinking room. never hearing. the blood tastes bitter when given as a gift. pulling skin back and mothered in the chest. a painted portrait of you. holding hands empty. I parade this carcass like a prize. I stand buried alone again. monolith of the unloved. correspondence killing colors. silence never settles minds. dying eyes don't lie. don't fade away
