Lovely bones

Erasing the pain
is harder than it seems
with lips like a demon
i chew away all the flesh
that clutches to my bones
just a skeleton in the night
dancing he troubles away

a vacant mind wishes
and never knowing what it wants
perhaps to no longer be vacant
or to finally be able to register
all the mortal anguish it's been in
for all these years
but, too numb to feel anything.

a soul oozing from the
incisions of the wrist
blood pouring its crimson tears
at the loss of the last thing
that was human.
now just a vacant mind, with a vacant body
she's just a skeleton in the night
dancing her troubles away.
