I never stood up to this much…..
shivers of agony
only following the whispers
for I haven’t a clue, what to do
next
Poseidon said left, and Sud said right
So I turned toward the light
the hell I walked into was so beautiful
I cried scars into my cheeks
that remind me of all the times
I have lost
so roll the dice once more
and follow the rising sun
Vishnu will only help those who understand
that there is only the day and
the night
so come and caress my face
I am now blind so lead me
to my death
I know you mean well
but you cannot help yourself
baptize me in your success
I choke on my guilt
the sword I once bore finds a home
in my back, so I buckle, and unbuckle
the belt of shame
starlight, twilight my second sight is fright
pray along with the no ones if you think
it will keep the pain at bay
I pass on with the shiver of something
on my skin
a shiver of your sin
I become another victim
of this brutal place
you seem to thrive in

Damn! Still letting this one sink in…. It has so many vibrational layers

A powerful, visual image with ‘ I cry scars onto my cheeks.’ . An interesting word to use because scars imply healing. Great writing again!

This entire piece is really beautiful in a chilling kind of way, but this here,
“I become another victim
of this brutal place
you seem to thrive in”
is exactly how you bring it home, my friend. Pure excellence!
