*You are rhetorical, so that I mean nothing
And falling into you is something I’d never do
The apocalypse is approaching
And all you can do
Is
Dance around
Peeling your skin
As you twirl
You’re bringing the apocalypse upon you
(I hope you’re having fun)
Molding
Shaping…
-no…killing
-no-suicide
You let the shrouded skies
Asphyxiate your already blinded vision
To fit the reflection of a shattered piece of glass
Disguised as a silver lining
Although antiquated in it’s value
You bow before it
“swallow me whole, shreds and all. Regurgitate me back with your slime of deception. Renewed.”
* special thanks to the wonderful wonderland who came up with that line. thank you
