Painful smile for Death

Finding comfort in the discomforting light,

out over my chest bleeds my soul.

Cutting deeper to feel alive in my death,

eyes of white basking in the heat of love’s discord.

Noticing the painful touch inside of my being,

fading away to understand the end I am in.

No words left to speak what my veins are now saying,

torched by my fathers fire Lucifer holds my fate.

Laying my head back just before my nearing fall,

answering many questions I never asked before.

No tormenting images in my heart now fading fast,

lasting kiss of death in such a beautiful smile.

My eyes don’t lie as the only truth I know comes in,

leaving behind what was never even before me.

Salty lips making kisses feel like pain,

hollow heart I say just as the darkness finds a way.

Whoever knew me for what I might have been,

will see the demise of love buried in painful eyes.
