Parent to Child.

Child of light crowned in splendour, glowing with ever-present glory, darkness now shades your lamp & you dwell within a world of shadows.

I see your pain, your wounds wide open, my hands drip your blood trying to grasp, to remove the blade that slices through you.

How you love the pain. The sting of death intrigues you.

Numb & cold you cannot feel the icy frost you tinge my heart with, while you slowly razor our eyes open to bleed, you gasp for air, each dying breath, ready to sacrifice upon your altar love itself.

You play the game & laugh at death not knowing who it is that buys your soul & piece by piece its gathered, swallowed by those within the black hole of screaming anguished cries of the deluded.

Peace eludes you, your beauty shrouded by black ugliness invited by the slices on your wrists.

The pain you bare in death is never ending, agony screams & echoes through hell’s eternity.

Ravaged child of confusion, of love gone wrong, you hold the hand of liars, leeches drain your life, you cling as if they were lovers who can never birth love, their teeth embedded in your neck.

Angers raging flame explodes with passion & spews forth filthy verbal rags of rejection.

Your defence is weak, your spirit frozen, broken, shut down, lost & lonely, repelling true love, throwing off truth & living the lie.

Hypocrite! Callous emotional mockery!

Ha… you say, blinded fool, your house is no castle, you roam the path webbed with treachery, your viperous tongue whips those who reach out & in defence of self- preservation they fight back with shield & sword willing to hold all that’s been paid for.

The Heavens War, a battle ground is pounded, blood seeps the earth &

weeps………….

FOR YOU!
