DarkPoetry -|- insideout -|- skin

skin

this blood drips like wine into your glass
you crave so innocently
we spill forth
and god how we've loved
dimensions disappeared
we were ghosts

love is a cycle of madness
logic would deem us to be
flattered by complacency
only to find
we've been fucked by hypocrisy

life is as it goes
and yes, nobody knows
yet we can see
the displacement
the distant melody

im lost in this place
of empty space
unknown variables
teasing me
taunt me till i break down to the next level
of this god forsaken insanity they'll
kill me

nobody left to save me

but me.

This just has a soft, whispering, half asleep feel to it...goes slowly, as if forcing you to absorb all of it in full. Well done
