gruesome
ghosts of your blood litter this floor
strewn about the walls, arterial spray
your final act of conscious thought
an urge to steal yourself away
resting there on embossed paper
your blood and skin meet a home anew
a trigger pulled and an iced chill later
a gun smoke cloud and ringing ears
under breath passers by look up to see
red splattered windows and screams
a child greets the noise and sits slumped
a fathers body will haunt his dreams
energetic and self sufficed egos wane
we glare across the black table cloth
our weapons of choice a cruel word
as dark thoughts crawl with sloth
souls transferred into a worse place
a beat up broken down wreckage heap
alone in a place where nothings holy
and all temptation haunts and creeps
over the hill of a make believe face
its clouds wisp into a phantoms face
I once thought I knew your ghost
I was wrong, you were not the same
moreover, it was my own fear
my own reckless ego that blazed aglow
a bloody heart can hold nothing at all
it leaks it all out in the fatal flow
ending back here where we started
you and I were never really unique
we danced around the riches of energy
too proud to ever accept true critique
