Calm like the nights
When dogs forget to bark
And stars are all the lights
We'll ever need
To help us smear the ink one more time

Like soot
When the wind blows
Words too, floated away when pain sighed heavily
My heart aches no longer
I have no blood to dip my ink in
And amuse your demons

Set me free
For when words fail me
Misery finds a place right next to me
On my bed
It's icy fingers trace my every feature
I don't like the way it looks at me

Confusion battles creativity
My heart refuses to listen to the song
Sung by the lonely wind
Looking for a companion
To let it seep in beside it's bones

The sky is wearing black for my funeral
My tears are the water everyone should drink
When they choke on their guilt
They should have never demanded more blood from me
Than I could afford to give out

Now I lay,
All out of blood
In a pool of my tears
Counting all the times I called myself a poet
What a silly little lie
