Deathbed Hymn

ionofalion:

return to me once your broken & lost
& I’ll show you the ancient mariner’s albatross,
but first we need to pull the crux of this curse

moved through shadows behind your eyes
your reflection tells of a story & the story
never lies down with your indecision

you can’t sleep
but you close your eyes
you can’t sleep
& your covered with flies

your devils are as indecisive as you
your bleeding out colors again, but
you haven’t got the faintest clue

you’ve redrafted your terminal pages
with scriptures crossed out & erased
the body of your curse cannot be replaced

you can’t sleep
yet you close your eyes
you’ll never sleep again
& your covered with flies
