Alrighty! The verses switch POV: Tyki to Kanda then Kanda to Tyki (Tyki is the dying and Kanda is the dead). The two liners are part of the stanzas before them consistently... yup... gaaa... what's up with this? It wouldn't let me do stanzas... Any help?


Hell

Walk with your eyes wide open

Stumble to me though you're blind

Step with your feet too lightly

While leaving your body behind


Come embrace the dying

I'll shelter the dead


Watch with your eyes half gleaming

Stare at the light you can't see

Wait with limp arms wide open

And a hole where your heart should be


I'll breath in the dying

Come swallow the dead


Scatter your dead petal kisses

Grasp with your hands without bones

Want with your mantle-less body

For blood that is coursing alone


Come court with the dying

I'll taste of the dead


Trace your whispered caresses

Stroke with your fingers now furled

Strain with a body ever shapeless

Always caught in the space between worlds


I'll lust for the dying

Come torture the dead


Whimper a cry for the demons

Scream with your throat with no sound

Hold onto a life's fading edges

Though a soul and a corpse can't compound


Come lay with the dying

I'll sleep with the dead


Press with the skin swiftly freezing

Onto flesh that could never be here

Console as the flames layer our bodies

That there can't be worse things to fear


I'll sleep with the dying

Come lay with the dead
