Deep within me
A thousand voices dwell,
These voices claw to be heard
They speak of truth and life
A thousand times over, I’m amazed
I’m amazed at how lucky I am
I am lucky to be alive.
Deep within me
A silence brews,
To be held is my desire
Silence drowns me like an ocean
Her tides are overwhelming
Her shores are quiet, quiet yet deadly
To all who listen, save me beyond silence
In her, I’m doomed.
Stained with the illusions of lust
Lust that drags my thoughts apart,
Her talons are heavy
Her daggers rip me apart
Her fangs are deeper than the Nile
What can I do but shiver
I shiver only to realize I’m burned by her
Her vengeance is fiery
Her name is venom enough
Venom for her insatiable thirst.
