Dark Neverland

Let’s Never Stay Young

By The Girl in GreyPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Sweet, fainted whispers from the ghosts in my room

Lurking to keep my bloodlined heart in their toll

Made of many human emotions, from gleaming joys to doom

Waiting for the irks in my head to at last unfold

That dream world of mine, dancing in black marble and neon lights

Awaits the interruption of anything that could have been good

Much like thr waking mind, glued to fanned wings from screaming heights

To a place I created so no need to be understood

Come by and you can find me waiting on the edge of the crystal clear skyscrapers

With those iconic wings sprouted from the bare of my back

So many chances for you to just take her

The best version you think you ever had

Shattered pieces make such pretty noise at night

The numbness begs for the REM to hit my skull with a metal mallet

Come away to a dark Neverland where the monsters never wait and never hide

Because something else satisfies their taste palettes

They don’t feed on human flesh, but on the tarstick of negativity

Shatter it from my bones and then swim away

How dazzling not to have to see me

Because even in being blind, those gold-studded fools simply cannot stay

Come nigh to the edge of this cinematic terror

Drink in the wind breaking your mind into a nightday

To a cataclysmic mix of the terrifying and the fairer

A place where all the solo hearts long to love and to stay

Love always,

Chayle
