Shamefully

I shut my mouth for a world
That tries to strangle me

I sweated icy and pale seas
To become a flower in potency
I was, am, and will forever be the shadow of something idealized

The Sun burns all the certainties of tomorrow
And I darken under the sound of these great steps
To only continue to hallucinate and desire

I shut my mouth for a world
That comes trampling over me

I wake up and agonize in your hands
Feeling the angels falling in my lungs

I sold myself to dreams with fissions, corrupted dreams

Cut off and I run out of blood
Blood that Dracula refused for its looks
And gods had no mercy, gods had no mercy

I shut my mouth for a world for a world I didn’t even try to destroy
