Disclaimer: DNO. (Do Not Own). Because Sousuke came up and whispered in my ears one evening – scary stuff, people. Seriously.
Shatter
There's a hollow at your heart
Where my words have worked their art
As they have so many, countless times before.
You may stand on two firm feet
But the ache of your defeat
Leaves you bound and leaves it ripping through your core.
OoO
We've had our problems, true,
But I've always fancied you
Knew at least a little more then all the rest.
So please, come, step right in –
For I'm eager to begin
To extract the final riddle from your chest.
OoO
The heart's an artful thing;
You will scarcely feel the sting
As I carefully dissect its scattered strings.
Place them neatly to the side
And there's nowhere left to hide
While I ponder what to make out of these things.
OoO
Place a kiss upon your hair –
You will always feel me there
As I weave and sculpt and tangle, knit and roll –
Skip and gambol, chase your tail
Scream and struggle, writhe and rail
As I knot the tattered fetters of your soul.
OoO
Still the mottled light grows dim -
Strut and dangle at my whim
From the chains I threaded neatly through your name.
Faded stains where you once bled
And I'm just five steps ahead
In the tormented mechanics of our game.
OoO
Say it once, and sing it twice!
Take a chance, and roll the dice!
Scream defiance 'gainst the darkness, take a stand
Key and ashes, sword and throne -
All these things I call my own
And a crown you will deliver to my hand.
