Soft Metal

Pull the tendrils down from the ceiling
I want to believe in something again
Remain with me, even for a little while
till the black swallows my heart
I'll waste away in your embrace
and I'll certainly wither in ignorance

Spider webs jewel the walls
I could hide in a bed of soft leaves
but you'll need me and I'll come running
Until you leave for the hundredth time
or I'm just wrong to think that
I wish I was mist so I could fade...

Beautiful brown eyes look past me
and I am inspired to be alone once more
The metallic hands that clamp upon my brain
keep me where I am wanted
Even when I want to sleep
I'm kept awake in a dull restraint

Shine on me for a little while
I need you more than ever
but you're nowhere to be found

Pull the tendrils down from the ceiling
I want to believe in something again
Remain with me, even for a little while
and we'll paint this room in Saturn's tears
You're a perfect snowflake
immortalized in the happiness I never felt

Whoever this is directed to, or if it's even directed...they're lucky...

Loved your imagery.

In love with this one. x

[L4rn13]

Soft and solemn. I got a strange, contradicting hint of condensed feeling even though there is a lot within the write. Engulfing to read.

[A. Amos]

Poignant, deep and honest write...very strong poetry.

[Dark Poet]

I felt a lot of sadness in this. In a strange way, more than usual. Something hit me hard in it too, and I wish I could put my finger on it and It is going to drive me insane if I can't.
