    rather witchy, but i really like this one. ;]

    a twist in the light
    distorting whatever you're seeing tonight,
    kept in the impulse
    you can't stop
    check your pulse,
    are you still breathing?
    her words are intertwining,
    you can't distinguish
    and she wouldn't want you to,
    she's spoken a rhyme that captivated your mind
    it's your heartbeat you can't find,
    struggling to stay,
    the call beckoned
    but you can't stay for more than a second,
    the inside of your mouth is decaying
    we'll stitch you up
    and pretend she was just playing,
    like a silly girl with her sticks and stones
    dancing among the skulls and shadows with no anxiety,
    a silly little girl on the wings of sickly boney birds
    singing all the words in her mouth
    while haunting melodies drift on her rosy lips,
    ashes to ashes
    burning to the ground like plane crashes,
    a silly little girl with a love like winter
    slowly crippling your soul,
    loving her will kill you
    but you don't care,
    you're into that kind of instant-gratification,
    she wasn't trying to mend your bones
    while speaking in hypnotic tones,
    she wouldn't care much for your sobriety
    she'd just get you drunk and introduce you to society,
    you melt in a way you've never felt
    frantically feeling for the place where your heart dwelt
    below the welt on your stomach,
    where the skin is pinker than pale
    where she kissed you frailly and told you you'd never fail
    led you to this place where you tore towards the rail
    faceplanted and split the stake,
    you aren't sure son,
    you just aren't sure,
    you're biting down till your teeth go through your lip
    she hates you and you can't get a grip,
    your insides scream
    you howl; rip off your shirt and tear them out,
    skeleton choirs screech in your head
    thrash around and strangle your efforts on your bed,
    your veins are thick in your hands
    treating you to disease from distant lands,
    something like concern drips from her eyes
    the steam in your skin inflamed to rise,
    she carves out your heart
    tenderly places it on the dusty royal purple
    decaying behind the glass
    on display for a thousand hungry eyes
    more than willing to tear your flesh apart,
    what is set in stone will not last in brass
    a little starvation does the body good she whispers,
    vertigo comes as your body sways
    minutes feel like days,
    your bones aren't made of stone
    neither is your heart,
    she's got you standing in such an awkward position
    relying only on her intiution to assess your condition,
    you've been clawing your skin raw
    carving words in your arm like it's the law,
    you don't like to be teased
    she won't touch you,
    you're diseased
    and couldn't be less at ease,
    it feels like you won't ever be able to sweat this fever out
    driven to stumble out half-naked in the snow to sleep with your doubt,
    folded beneath your wings
    your heart sings,
    a song you didn't know you knew
    but you are powerful too,
    if you'd believe it
    your love is as strong as her darkness,
    don't be force-fed fear
    taste your own liberation.
