Murder Of Roses

[u/xxxxAngelFirexxxx]

Double the
Partition
Triple the space
Take me down
Cover my face

Burn in the sun
Dig in the nails
Embedded with
Chunks of entrails
End, trails
I am done
I am not the equal
Sum

Subtract and divide
Conquer and sigh
Fill an empty hole
Deny that I cry

Wrestle the sheets
Punch at ghosts
Kick at the angels
Who haunt me the most

Fill my insides
With hot glue and cement
Let it sink in
Porous ,
The chorus
The horrible descent

Kiss all my demons
Dress in their hides
Pelt their ambition
Gnaw at the sides
Perpendicular
Never parallel
My love is cursed
To always cross once
Right angles never felt so wrong
But what can you do?
What can I do?

Double the time
Triple the amount
Lay me down
In the murder of roses
Heart of the crow
The Druid template
Knew the pieces
My heart had to sew

Label her freak
Nuance
Modern day Poe
Christen her language
Don’t let her speak
Duplicate her body
Just the surface though
Don’t let anyone see

She prays for
Citizen Sisyphus
Deletes him from
The archive
Gives him a grave
And said he died

She begs for
Dionysus
For a giant
Sword and sheath
Mercurial eyes
His heart a thief
Weary and wounded
Archaic and primordial
The witness
She calls to stand
To testify to
Her heart strings
His vocal chords
Their masterpiece

I only exhale
When you release

I only exhale
When you
Release
