DarkPoetry -|- alwaystuesday -|- within the ashes lies the silence

within the ashes lies the silence

come hang with me tonight
in the tree of deceit
allow our haloes to fall from our heads
to our necks
& provide a noose
our eyes will bleed
but tears won’t fall
there is no one in this world
who deserves them

the wolves will howl
in the distance
the cicadas will chirp
& moths will circle
our flaming eyes
but tears won’t fall
there is no one in this world
who deserves them

at least no one i know

Oh man...this is mind altering...you set fire to all these thoughts in my head, and all of a sudden, they spontaneously combusted into a magnificent piece of art. This piece has such a complex, evocative nature.
