Black
mask on!
white’s
aglow
familiar
yet still unknown
black
mask on!
scars
concealed,
skin
forever sealed from view
loving me is like suicide
slowly drains the life in you
loving me is like suicide
you’ll feel trapped; you’ll feel lost
and soon… there’ll be nothing left of you
Black
mask on!
chamber’s
spun
rotates
until
the
last shell’s won,
the
end’s revealed
Black
mask on!
slipping
away
faceless
seems like everyday
all
that you’ve done, so little won
for
a love grown stale, the mirror tells the truest tale
loving me is like suicide
you ignore the signs; you pray instead of run
loving me is like suicide
without knowing the how, where and when
Black
mask on!
pressed
to skin
asphyxiation
cutting
deep within
Black
mask on!
dreaming
upon anything
preying
upon everyone
wishing…for
only all of this to end
loving me is like suicide
Mercury or heroine
tracts to arm
to fuel the spark
needed to let this love survive
Black
mask on!
searching
for
meanings
that just aren’t there
loving me is like suicide
first you love and then you die
loving me is never right
only darkness, never light
Black
mask on!
seeking
high and searching for
locked
doors you’ll never find
loving me is like suicide
craving deeply loves embrace
loving me is like suicide
in spite of knowing it all will be erased
Black
mask on!
dang - you're going the dark path today fred...this gave me chills.. the black mask seems to be the ultimate contrast to the rosy glasses..
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking that's for sure a song.
ReplyDeleteAnd maybe the night sky is a black mask with holes poked all through it.
a lot of people could relate to "loving me is like suicide" line. but when you come down to it, you really don't love that person, it's just some sort of co-dependency!
ReplyDeleteThese ones are so fun to read, as you just break them up so well that they flow. Although yes a bit dark and dreary and maybe a tad suicidal, so best avoid any tall buildings for a while..LOL...thing we've all hoped that black mask would help as we ignored the signs it wouldn't work, surely isn't a perk.
ReplyDeletethe black mask itself is nice...symbolic...my love like suicide is a haunting refrain as well...i like the dark though man...i write some longer horror fiction as well just to get it out...this was really good...
ReplyDeleteInteresting. It seems the black mask could be on either party.
ReplyDelete"you ignore the signs; you pray instead of run"
The perils of holding on to hope, I guess.
