New post from Comfort

I'm really bad at titles

My heart stretched out on the wings of a phoenix,

I live so I can die, so I can live again, so my flames can be warmth to new skin that I shall wear,

My smile is but a trumpet blown till my lungs surrender to the lack of oxygen,

The end is nigh, the end is nigh! But you do not hear it, you hear a sweet symphony,

oh, sweet child, how you’ve become nothing to everyone and everything to everyone but only for an instance, only when you’re needed,

how your mind has become a theatre,

death upon death, prewritten, you, your own executioner,

hush.

can you hear it? When you glimpse at a rope, or a blade laying seductively on the counter or when you walk too close to a bridge that’s high enough,

can you hear it? A mother’s call “my child, you’ve suffered, come onto me and know peace”

My smile is but a trumpet blown till my lungs surrender to the lack of oxygen,

My end is nigh, my end is nigh!

Let me die so I can be reborn again,
