Description
Have you ever watchedyour heart slowly close its
thick, leathery petals?
Or marvel at light and dark
through the curtains of your eyes?
What curious phenomena.
Thunder rings the lungs as
a warning: the storm is coming.
Do you ignore the persistent
jangle vibrating inside your chest?
What if...
you did? Tamp down
the urge to run and
hide in the brambles that
clutch too tightly to your skin.
Poison always finds its way
into the bloodstream, no matter
how hard you suck at the wound.
Would darkness find you there,
traveling the highways of your veins?
Could you fight the urge to
scream when, looking in the
mirror, you find your
molten reflection - skewed and
bent out of shape - is truly you?
What if guardian angel was simply
a scam by our own personal demons?
"Follow my lead and you'll
make it through your trials.
Forget tribulations!"
You'd never think it would
happen to you...
But its just biding the time.
Cleansing waters aren't so cleansing
when they're acid rain.
The pinpricks are chemical burns
stroking the skin as they make
their way down to the ground.
What if light doesn't exist?
What if...what if...?

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
I was in a rather strange mood when I wrote it, so that could account for some things!
