"Black Butterflies"
My nightmares had me in a house of mirrors with crooked doors and twisted windows.
I spent the rest of my time just trying to escape it.
A fun house, a house of horrors,
a puzzle, a mystery.
I feel like a candle with no wick, it matters not,
sooner or later the fire will come and consume everything anyway.
A darkness too great to put into words, something that must not be named.
An unfathomable, unmentionable pain.
I feel like someone else is pulling these strings, a puppet or a pet, a toy or a play thing.
I feel like I am just here to be destroyed.
I feel like someone else is keeping track of my time,
yet I cannot find my hourglass.
Hidden eyes lay behind a vail,
looking upon me as the shadows overtake me in this hell.
Fearful of pain, yet I've lived through the greatest, what pain could death bring me now?
I feel like my head is under water, as though I was drowning but I am dry as the desert.
I feel like I am bleeding to death but there are no wounds upon me.
Now what sickness is this?
I feel like an abandoned experiment.
Now it is just bad omens and
black butterflies with a feeling of eternal dread.
