Ich Bin

I stare into an empty wall
Filled with ghouls that laugh
Their painted faces
Hold the floor
Cold dirt, a cold slap

Across my face
The shining claws
Of a harsh destiny
Bourne from Hell
A horrible stench
Filling up
With apathy

Yet nothing here,
I walk away
From the blood and maggot
Covered floor
Turning my thoughts back
A pace
It's yesterday once more.

Yesterday, a human smile
No fangs hidden beneath
A lover's touch
A kiss of death
A...purity, just out of reach

If only I could! -
Reach that far, and grasp the
Reigns of death
To ride upon the silver
Streaked sky once more
To heaven, and escape the harsh

Reality, the silver chains
Binding me here in place
Armageddon -
It is a mockery...
Rapture -
It is a falsehood...
Faith -
It is a truth

Love...
Always a lie.
