shadows and shitty motel rooms

i dream of shitty motel rooms
my daughter is missing
so i help the other wandering
children

in the shadows
a young boy clings to my skirt

another ghost
attaches to me
drains me

we are all vampires

my shadow aura grows
i will be like them
just another apparition
that haunts

orpheus sings his heartbreak song
i am Demeter
i am Persephone
i am Hades
while i write

on this cold winter night
i watch in the  black window
sadness
becomes its own entity

my arms open
when it punctures my heart
he whispers in my ear
that i was born for this

we fade in the dark

i hold a snake by its head
 before it swallows its own tail
​i give it a kiss

we melt into one
i can't tell the difference between
this beginning
this end

we howl like dogs
while the moon hides behind
the clouds

i am medusa in a moonless night
try to cut off my head before
you turn you to stone

watch my garden of statues
so still
how brave you are
see my eyes glow red
with revenge
with sadness

i weep
when you are 
a statue
but you are stone cold
​and don't notice
