my black dahlia.

that smile rips your skin from ear to ear
a grinning corpse to prance across the stage
cut my strings, control is mine again
I cannot scream, I will not break
You’re not my father anymore.
A baby bird launched from the nest
plummets and breaks her scull
your safety net, you broke my fall
and destiny is scorned
Lies drips from your fingertips
Murder dances on your tongue
the lines blur between laughing matters
and what is set in stone.
Bleed for me, sympathy is such a lie
open up your lungs to me, breathe in my curse.
Your broken mind is breaking hearts
we all deserve to be like you
to die this sick, unending death
a vampire in the sun
