Haunting hallucinations
Red lips and stained thumbs
Broken fingers and snapped necks
Beautiful disgrace in a shattered soul

Oxymoronic actions
Harsh worlds and soft touches
I lean in and pull away
I want you - I hate you - I love you

Slender slayer
Malicious intent and buried affections
Twisted truths and bloodied limbs
Shattered remains in my broken shell

Vermillion shades
Blinding affection and ignored instincts
Stabbing truths and sugar coated lies
Why do I bother - why do I care - why do I remain?
