Sleeping Beneath the Ashes of Creation

Playing god and pointing fingers in every direction but our own is a beautiful way to live. Creating heavens out of ashes and reaching towards the sky with every pedestal possible. We've taken two steps out of a thousand. One small step towards understanding, and one giant leap towards murder. Look up at the sky and the wrists we've slit. Sucking the blood straight from the veins. Take a deep breath and make excuses for why it burns your lungs. These skylines stand like cemeteries with headstones for us all. This has risen from bare ground, everything we fabricate and call beauty. This is beauty with a gun in its mouth. This is not what was intended. Imagine walking in open fields with the ashes of generations sifting below your feet. Stepping over centuries of failure that have all come down to this. Serving an immediate purpose with an everlasting effect. Mother, this is a sign of our gratitude. Ripping the umbilical in half before conception. Your eulogy spilling from our cracked lips. We are your sons and daughters. We rake open your chest and watch the heart come to stillness.

Alone I stare at the hallowed life accumulating in my hands. Forever is just their passive word to describe this unholy nothing that's been left behind. Forever to be left behind for both weak and strong. To drain of life and remember. An empty act of remembrance for my own selfishness. Falling towards darkness never came quite this easily. So at this time I keep it close and hold it for what it is worth. Seasons of joy I beg for your return, your return to invoke my collapse. I beg for your patience, I beg for your ever-insuring guidance. But leave her angelic tone behind so that I may still stumble on these broken knees. Love is spoken with such jealous disgust. All in hope for the comfort of a pale hand to caress these lonesome and solace eyes. For only seven nights I lived with the stars, in seven night I watched them fade away. A burning past I will abandon to just live with relief, but with three chosen word I slit my own throat.

The blossoms have opened and we transpire, parting the pedals with thick fingers. Rising like a swarm of insects from the garden. This is devastation in tune. Thousands of bodies with one universal heat beating through the ribcage. These thorns will carve our eyes and these flowers will enshroud our souls. Fluttering wings were meant to fly, whispering and conspiring of mental worlds and infinite flights. We part the water of distant seas. We bleed together, stirring red into vast blue skies. A world of good intentions poisoned by your hidden desires, peeling back the layers of flesh that used to have meaning to us all. You closed your eyes and kissed the flames, floating into the sun with open arms. We watched you burn with hands tied. We salted the earth with our tears, and bathed the world with our bleeding hearts. Sing your song for the last time. This chorus comes to silent under the weight that we've been left to bear. The smell of smoke still rises from your blackened wings. Your broken body hits the ground like and angel repelled from heaven. You crawl back to the flowers from which you came, sleeping beneath the ashes of everything you created.

Awake into a dark horizon where our children's fingers drip in the blood of their creators. We've been consumed by our technology. We now bring the life of death upon ourselves. Crucified into a genetically altered way of life, our species will not survive. We've kissed the cold palm of death for the satisfaction of our own. The scent of the end fills our senses, for now the taste of the apocalypse rests upon our lips. Spawned into a generation of disease to rot within the nonexistent enjoyment of life. Now I will watch you burn within this revolution. We've licked the forked tongues of the demons we created. I scream in silence for salvation and bleed for hope of a brighter tomorrow, but the sun no longer exists where man's technology is king. I slit the wrist of this synthetic way of life and I pull the veil down over my eyes. I will savior the warm blood as it spills upon my hands.

Carving your cryptic lies in my back, a friendship gets torn at the seams. The north winds blow, turning summer's rains into December's ice. Like the two seasons, you changed to what she wanted, what he wanted. Your face washed away with every choice you made, the bridge starts to burn and the embers embrace your soiled desires. Reaching for your hand as the water fills your lungs. I tried to pull you to the shore but you just turned away. Swimming towards the sirens, you couldn't refuse their soft voices. Now faced with nothing left, you sink to the ocean's floor. May death come quick and grant me a blackened salvation. Serpents slither under your skin injecting venom into your veins, your pulse begins to weaken. can you live with your self? I stand here staring at what remains of your life. This hopeless feeling is overwhelming. Nothing can ever be the same. Nothing will ever be the same. The chapter ends with nothing but deceit. You no longer exist to me.

I gasp for one last breath, but I choke on my tongue. No words can describe this pain making me go numb. My mind is my own worst enemy, hidden away no one will ever know. The day of atonement has arrived. Am I ready for my sentence? I hear the death rising from the grave, calling my name, trying to bring me home. Though I struggle to find hope in a empty world, death is a welcome relief. But I know I'm stronger than this self-hate, only I can't seem to break free. I wear this mask made of flesh to conceal the razor marks. A dead heart that won't bleed. So kiss me with your lips of death. Forever seeing my life in the eyes of torment. Nothing was ever cherished where the chaos reigned. Now I walk this earth only to stumble on the dead dreams. I tell myself that the sun will rise again, but will it be another endless day. Can you see my face? Can you hear my voice? Can you sense the fear taking over my life?

A tragedy that was years in the making. Deliver me no forgiveness because again I delivered the unforgivable. How quick we were to bury ourselves in love and how quick I was to fade to farewell. In days to come ask me for nothing, for all I have to give is the dirt that fills my mouth and these eyes that have been drained of all emotion. Every day is one more chance to remember and to stare alone into this tomb I've dug for two. But I fill the negative space with my broken promises and my shallow soul. A timeless moment I wish to never return. And still how false are these cracks I show upon my face. One million dying smiles in exchange for one million infected days is the price I would pay to restore your trust. Things I know that this diseased body will never achieve are now the only things I live for, but in the end all my empty attempts for happiness tend to come up short, so I infect and mutilate this body and part ways with this life. For if I only knew that we were to live and die with regret I would have done away with this blessing of life. That kiss to your brow was goodbye forever.
