ii) A Glutton For Punishment
Greed and guile
Colour my life with aurus rose
Temper my yearning
Abdicate the throne, majesty!
Gold topples the crown
Blood festers the ground
Hell on earth
My blessing and my curse
How did I fail my holy grail
Taper my hunger
With your compound eyes
Parasites leeched upon the guilt
And a call to arms
Paradise led me down a path to the core
Fail. Try. Fall. Rise
Scars run deep,
Tormenting me with her reptilian glare
How is she
forsaking me when my devil may care?
With your compound eyes
Parasites echo through the walls
And a call to arms
Paradise, breathe me in, I'm dead to the world
