Shadow Cast

magnified fear stares back the mirror reflect

depravity the shadow cast a feeling of ill harmony so crisp the famines

itch a withering shoreline tears of grey interspersed with withered fruit

her gloomy banquet of cheer heaven what a sweet pain douse the

ecstasy the imagination drained away perpetual reverie abruptly fade

heavens soothing some say tremulous hand jabs from behind sticks

in the back for all to see organs spilled leak of will void of secrecy

genuine tears delights the taste pain salts the bitter brew rich in guilt

to absorb the filth she worships a point of view scarce the thousand

remnants black charred flesh a victim screaming through heaven or

hell what's the difference one to believe in one to live in careful

balancing what's hell to heavens only flame
