The muse holds a shimmer
Every street light showers an addiction in neon
If this hope for you was to come back, is gone
Dressed in skin I couldn't weave enough to loose
Chipped in black, torn nails hang from my fingers
Eyes glazed in shadows live through the dawn
Tears, scream in the breeze as tomorrow falls
Crazed, crackled Jade as your eyes say sorrow is mine
Plead in fuken forgiveness as a shallow lament is yours
SImple as it may be, I can forgive a denial of blood
Sleep in an alcoholic haze as summers drift on by
I cannot choose fear
Live in the sun
Walk away from others as they hold out a hand
Pick the scabs until they bleed
Stain my skin in hues of blood
Forget the path you walk
One you can remove
WIth a nod
And a choice
A better life lays
Captured in a dragons breath
And folded paper
While I live and die
Tipped by a rusty blade
Sliced in a vein
Silhouetted in oblique
Against the obscure
As a twist in ten saves me
But not the sun
A dream will carry a silence born
Several steps upon a crooked pavement echo arrival
Waft a feather of forgiveness upon a blessed soul
Count the shadow of lies in scars upon my flesh
Look upon the scars as I follow you
Im having trouble as I try to sleep
I open heavy eyes to a day just before
Left alone again in a crocked spine adjusting to delirium
Silence beckons peace unlike before I dream of death
In silence I kiss the butterflies breath

this has a really cool rhythm...and nice pace adjustments too...i rather like the cascade bit in the middle as it quickens...and then to you close which i would whisper...
The flow is fabulous, speeding and slowing in tune with word choice and emotion. This evokes meth-addict images galore. Really well done.
