(no subject)
in our fractured garden of eden
we saw the sky and we saw the stars
and we saw the hands of the tortured souls
as they closed in unison to pray for salvation
and we laughed as the others whispered their curses
we ate because we were alive
and we lay smiling
fading smiles that decayed under the sickening realizations
that bit like pairs of serrated scissors
and we bled gallons
we are the walking dead
ants beneath the magnifying glass
and our smiles tell no truths
but you're so beautiful when you cry, baby
you used to shed tears of joy
