A Pair to Destroy - by Erik Smith

return to Erik's poetry index

 

four candles
three colors
two lovers
one soul
ready to devour

in too much pain to hurt
been alone too long to run
when i open my eyes they cry
when my hopes come too close they die
and i'm not having any fun

drowning in alchohol
dizzy in this painful lust
screaming at my photo album
knowing that my life is now done

picture this a broken heart
caused by a life torn apart
within corpses everywhere
and i cannot continue

want to blacken the star filled sky
want to blacken the glowing day
want to blacken the brightening cities
want to blacken the things so pretty
want to blacken your everything
want to blacken your eternity

desire to devour it all
want to see everything fall
desire to devour it all
want to see everyone fall
