dedicated to those
trained in self-sabotage
tripping around in darkness
lost in the art of
trying to find the light
it’s there
somewhere
if I find it first
I’ll leave it on
for you

Otherworldly Romance
By candlelight, I visit the mausoleum that holds nothing but death.
Talk with it, I may. Might I even enjoy it, too.
Only I’m not alone, for I see the shadows of curiosity as they watch.
They hover and listen to my secrets and dreams.
Entranced by the girl with such beautiful darkness in her eyes.
