Open Your Lies

We drew a deep breath together, as her wings shaded me from darkness

Trapped inside our nothing, high inside this blood red tower.

Held tight against her chest, She looked at me calmly and spoke in the sweetest of speech of desire.

Showered inside happiness, the light faded at the twilight hour.

.

‘Honestly’ she purred ‘I don’t know what I’m doing here. But please beware of the devil…’

.

For i did not know it was the devil inside her

Fixated by her lullaby, she carried on as she held me tighter

.

‘He just plays to a different tune’

.

I didn’t wish to question the question for the answer.

I began to hum, and dance to my guilty rhythm

Not questioning her words, hushed by her speechless beauty she motioned me into position.

.

She pointed up to the sky

Cutting though the night I saw a flying man, shooting at the moon

A poison touch on the lips and told me it would be over soon.

.

So i palmed my shaking hand

Under my breath asked it so stop

But my whispered words fell broken and clotted

Gooey and fluttered

My hart no longer stuttered.

.

I collapsed, wished she would catch me as i fell a motionless core

and my hart dropped.

I tried to speak to her but now my stone words were solidified and sore

Tightening my throat as mind shouts for more.
