Day 321: Son Lux Break

Where have all the wicked gone?
The left when they saw there was no harm to be done
I'm wicked enough all on my own

Is there no one left to break me down?
They can't do any harm with the stones they throw
In the absence of a back bone


Where have all the holy gone?
They left when they saw how lost I was
You can't save someone who's already been drowned

Is there no one left to condemn me now?
Can you hurt someone who's heart is a hole
I'm empty and so alone.

Day 320: Stress Management

I lay awake again
My burning eyes refuse to close
I tell myself it's time to sleep
I count each fluffy leaping sheep
As dawn begins to glow

I buy a pack again
And strike another match
The tar is starting to make me wheeze
But without it I can't breathe
The stress would make me snap

I pour a glass again
And lift it to my lips
The clinking ice and amber hues
Makes the fire go down smooth
That numbs me with each sip

Day 319: Selene's Slave

Just a little piece of info: Selene is the Greek goddess of the moon

The pain never stops
It just drips and it drops
Forms a picture perfect puddle
Reflecting everything i lost
The day i fell from grace
A thousand tears fell from your face
And I'll never regain the hiding place
That was your warm embrace
I walk the lamp lit streets
Looking for a trade
I'd gladly take my life away
If it'd erase that day
The day I chased the moon
And left behind the sun
But never saw the darker side
'Till captured, I'd become
A lichen slave to Selene
Bound in her silver chains
She owns me, she controls me
She controls my fate
Old scratch has yet to visit
And Fortune's closed her eyes
So I howl with a broken heart
And blood lust in my eyes
I'd give it all away
But I've lost all control
The emptiness envelopes me
Reminding me of what I sold
And the pain, it never stops
It just drops and it drips
Forming a picture perfect puddle
Reflecting the pieces
I'm left with.

Day 318: Dark Corners

Why do I run back
To corners inky black
To where the light
Is smothered by
The darkness' attack

Why do I sit in silence
Closing both my eyelids
Soaking wet
With my own sweat
And tears from crying fits
