Companion, Be Death
Angela Malzow

A place between here and there
The space between each and every care
Which binds us to every word
And every promise ever heard

Blacken our minds to the Great Divide
Wallow amongst the lurking shadows inside
They claw and mark us to match one another
Ill fated or poorly met, star gazing, damned lovers

Secrets, a sheet of plastic words softly spoken
The depths of swirling madness which had awoken
To lie and bind our hearts in common guise
The truth of our shared embrace, intents surmised

Embankments of the rivers of blood and tears
Where ambitions, hopes, and misery is lost among the endless years
We bring our sorrow as a dish to pass for the thieving mouths
They cannibalize our dreams and leave us hanging on the stripped boughs

Bared of our sins we rest our hearts on the breeze
The whispers of salvation clinging about our knees
I look at you and try to wear my wearied smile
But your chastising eyes strip away my denial

Turning over in our graves, the soil leaves bitterness on our rotting tongues
Wearing our death upon the lapels of our lungs
This time we've beaten it to a pulp, this time there will be no resurrection
We've left ourselves to endure Fate's inescapable vivisection
Something randomly inspired.
