A Breath Before Surfacing

Looking into the Sun Without Going Blind

A Breath Before Surfacing


She is pious in every way 
When learned her passions 
“Forbidden” they will say 
Her morbid lust consumes her every thought 
You seductress of the dead 
The end is the beginning of this beast 
As she’s pulling back the sheet, she’s a macabre masterpiece 
And for the first time she opens up 
A skeleton removed 
Out of her closet, into her bed 
She’ll never love me, she’ll never love me til I’m dead 
And so I take this final breath 
The noose grips tight around my neck 
I’m slowly moving towards the light 
To her I offer my life 
So that she may dance on my grave 
Her ritual resounds 
As I’m going, she is cumming 
Our simultaneous release lets our love ring true 
She’s made the preparations, a silence preserved 
In this I can truly feel her angst 
Tired of being alone, accustomed to hurt 
Witness her greatest deceit 
An empty casket in the dirt 
Those eyes now haunt my afterlife 
Twisted it pains my bones to no end 
Our time together not in vain 
This love oblique we extend death 
Mortality is but a bar on that which makes us who we are 
I lie in wait for your return a pale blue tint to my face 
So many secrets within this house 
Forever clouded in incense 
Now I dream of explosions in black 
Fade out as we wither away 
Her crooked smile stained with sin 
A veil of black shrouding her face 
Embalming fluid fills her room 
To ensure I’ll never be replaced
