Everything

February 12, 2016
Walking through the grass 
Everything is burning
Laughing at the pain
I once forced you into it
 
The happiest time I knew
Heartless desire
Wires from the sky 
Entrap the motions
Before I use it
 
I took in the dust,mystified 
Persephone had imprinted on my mind
It was a horrible mistake
 
In the fire suffering 
The most desolate part I could comprehend 
Punctured by constant decay
 
Walking through the grass
That pricked my fingers
I went to bed
Laughing now
That I am passing
 
End the life of two
A dreadful matter 
With my heart entwined
To expire
And leave me lonely
 
I looked up to the empty space
And had dreamed of the day
I would be taken afar 
 
Somewhere yet not a place
Another wonderful mistake
Everything is burning
