picked it up from touching the souls of the damned.
Tugging at the flesh with needles and pins.
Blank expressions and pale complextions,
aren't we proud of ourselves now?!
Painting on faces with blood and tears,
Smudged mascara tracks careening over smooth skin.
A black tongue in an envious mouth,
Spiting out nonsense words to hide true emotion.
Dirty feet with even dirtier prints,
Just a trail of incomplete thoughts.
A fool chasing petals to satisfy happiness,
stepping on faeries and nymphs as he goes.
(the mythological creatures burning into his feet)
Your tainted Adoration grows by the minute,
Giving birth to a green-eyed monster, which swallows devotion.
Take a step forward,
Only to realize you've taken two steps back.
