Labyrinth

Labyrinth

songs with no closure;

regret beats a solemn drum.

alice enchained paths to nowhere:

a house of reflections I can’t outrun.

confined by hatred’s vanity,

reliving terror, an R.I.P. rewind.

straight off the edge of insanity,

diving deeper, cornered in my mind.

cobwebs quiver, bounce in worry,

calling forth torture’s reprimand.

I strangle slowly, absent mercy

imprisoned in a twisted wasteland.

eternal silence oozes nightmares,

and ghost drown my daydreams.

darkness devours hope’s light flares;

my mind wanders playing schemes.

shrouded by the devil’s dealings

and wrapped in ruined rhymes.

swallowed by mixed feelings,

I’m trapped between two minds.

a graveyard of tortured ruins,

plagued by memories forsaking,

I’m lost in my head’s labyrinth,

a marred maze of my own making.

tortured by a noxious decision,

a soul made by its own mirage.

I’m cornered by a conscious collision

by hollow haunting of self-sabotage.

“this is not a place of honor;”

poisoned ivy creeps into my thoughts;

I’m my most formidable monster;

to flames of chaos, I’m the moth.

A. Scarlet Heart
by kalika

my heart’s now made of darkness,
I’ll play your game. 
on my chest; draw a scarlet A;
I’ll take all the blame.

 if you’re gonna brand me a villain, 
I’ll light up this flame.
I’ll spark a match just to watch the
world burn in your name. 

speak of the mighty devil, and she shall appear.
she’ll take everything from ya since you volunteered.

they say money’s the root of all evil,
but they’ve never met me.
I play with the devil’s advocate;
don’t dare bet against me.
get ready and heed my warning;
you ought to expect me.
a necessary evil, I had to become;
you will never forget me. 

I will take you down with me to face hellish frontiers.
we’ll go to hell in a hand-basket to find what you fear.

I’ll summon my rebellious hellions,
and zip up my Reaper jacket. 
I’ll melt and mix up magic to place
poison in your brass cup.
with threads of molten hot malevolence,
I’ll weave a flower basket.
rafflesias, wolfsbane, and monkey orchids,
I’ll lay them in your casket.

speak of the mighty devil, and I shall appear.
I’ll take everything from ya; for you volunteered.
you’ll go to hell in a hand-basket; I’ll learn what you fear.
you’re coming down with me to face hellish frontiers.
