you thought i was just a deer in headlights

his demons stick to him
like tar
his unawareness
is a weakness

my demons
blow fire
hold hands
with me in the dark

the uselessness of 
forms filled out
in desperation

i kneel to the 
the two of swords
that balance 
this pain

i float
where you can't yet
begin to fathom

 the shadow men
weave in and out 
of this fire

i call to the demons that stick you
it hurts them that you can't see them
when they come to me
they will be known

i know what it is like to hidden
behind a man who pretends 
to be good

just another riddle
that gollum gave
​in that cave

i conjure stories
i shine to them
like coins

i am their precious thing
my light is a trap

to draw them down
follow
these 
arrows
below

watch me sink this ship

i am the siren
calling to you
you fake sailor

watching you drown
is my new trip

i could have been
your lighthouse
now i will be your abyss

remember  when you thought
i was a just a deer in headlights/

i cried when i died
on the side of the road

all you did was pick your nose
in your pick up truck
and look the other way
your truck was the color
of fake blood

my beauty bled out
on some back road
it was real
​it happened

the moon an eye
winking at me through the trees

as my spirit bled tears
on black asphalt
i crawled out from my carcass
and i flew

to a future where
you were gone
and i could finally
be seen
