Heaven & Hell
Heaven & Hell
She flirts with the desire
beyond he means...
to appease laughter in caged fear
she sheds a tear to numb the inner pain
inside she hides from the insane
wrapped up in the madness between heaven & hell
yet she has a great story to tell
looks to sin, self & Satan to get by
very often to a substance that makes her get high
shadows block her mere appearance of skeletal extremity
blackened heart filled with stench with the residue of death
long hanging fangs dripping blood off side
she treads a fine line between two places
faces, hands & feet
Eruption
