Goddess Fallible

Shimmering in the trodden streets of a damned city

As the streetlights drown in the downpour

Of an eyeless goddess

Weeping for what will be lost and forgotten

Just as those who had mistook her mercy

As a repeating example of forgiveness

By taking her eyes, her mouth and her fingers

Let the black miasma of man leak from her eyes

Let your cut tongue roll out of her mouth to swallow

Each blasphemy and cursed individual as her penance for

Allowing us to smile at the great misery

Of our own demise

Let each of her fingers countdown when her wrath will arrive

Let it bloom black dahlias and bless us with divine retribution

We beckon thee to descend to or arise from these sunken streets

And repeat your same folly once more and hope for change

Goddess fallible, forgive us and weep your black tears once more

For when you do, for when your heart aches for our sins

We will never forget you

You will always be there and we will cruelly pray for you

Blindly heed our prayers and accept our deepest desires

As mankind is and always will be… the creation

Even the world wants to kill

We will make sure of Goddess will continue to live

Despite us killing you so long ago

Rot slower and give us your ears this time

It won’t hurt us, we promise

Suffer for and with us

Have us prosper with your love and strength

Goddess whom we never thank

Will you ever come to love us as much as you despise us?

Gnawing at my fingers

While cold bites at my face

I wander past fallen trees

Rotting gestures

Of those frozen in a wistful past

The wind howl with phrases

That cannot stop driving a pain unlike this cruel cold

Is this guilt?

A warm warning of what I’m capable of?

Is it why my hands are missing fingers?

Why my mouth is stained with blood and our marred life?

I must be selfish

I must be creeping around this bleak forest

Searching for something long since devoured

That warms my shameless body

And deludes my gibbering mind

That I will find what I’ve destroyed

I walk through this windy, frozen forest

I gnaw at my hands that once held you

And search fruitlessly

For a means to prove everyone right

When I could just look into the mirror

And gaze at the monster peering at me

Witness me

I’ll diminish that pride of yours

Behold me

And I will answer you with only my immaculate beauty

Stare at me

Lose your tongue by offering it to me but never tasting anything of me

Be mesmerized by my smile

Offer me a drink yet you’ll be the one swaying in a drunken stupor

Worship me

Let my array of eyes bloom behind me and judge your very existence

Regret that you’ll never be me

And I’ll forgive you for being as I am your audacious god

Wade through the waters of life with me

Cover me from the rains of the world’s sorrow

Guide me to wherever home is

Gaze upon the moon with me and make wishes with me

When the world looks normal once more

Would you like to go out with me?

For now, be by my side

In the water of idle melancholy

In the forests of lost idyllic dreams

In the sky filled by clouds with different colored eyes

In my bed beside me

Sleeping soundly despite the world drowned in an odd ocean

When the world looks normal

Forgive me for never having an exotic dream

For being with you is a simple

And honest dream

I want to be a normal, happy reality
