creatures. for a time.
shed the skin, become whole again
i went to the river and
closed my eyes to the stars
"i will get through this"
a promise "through right or rite"
water, no tears
whispers of deviation - i was never evil
no
i've always been
it lies dorment until provoked
the plates shifted and the seasons changed
i expected a different outcome when the leaves finally cleared
all i found was cold, surrounding
i surrendered
a previous lesson learned: wasted efforts lead to time wasted
but no, i wanted to believe
i wanted
in the end it's always the same
lust, lies and compromise
is this just a fluke? a queen isn't so easily decieved
i went to the river and found nothing
to the mountains, closer to the sky
closer to home
and then i remembered, only when gazing down upon the useless beings
creatures remain as such
it's better to not let go, it's so easy to get caught up
i want to wash it all away, once again
forever games
endless games
i never learned how to play well with others
i never learned what the end feels like as it approaches
just the bitter taste of its arrival
lust
i meant all of it
i always do
"so tell me, where did i go wrong?"
pleading with the stars, no twinkle, no more
they burn on, into oblivion
"can i burn alongside you?"
lust
"can i reach you at all?"
extending limbs and opening my heart a little more each go round
"i meant everything"
wash it away, burn it away
i don't like being so cold but it's the only way to be
lies
karma is two-fold
to restore balance
wrongs, willing, knowingly
flesh is never worth the end
lies
"liar!"
i cried
"betrayer!"
i cried
compromise
juliet, the queen of snow
all i know is poison. i seek it, i bleed for it.
and how do you feel?
that's all i got?
questions for questions
accusations for questions
compromise

shed the skin, become whole again.
