The Little Boy Who Played It Coy
By:Jason Prosser
They live between the souls .
Embedded in the ashes and coals.
Shadow formed and hidden.
They torment me at her bidding.
They scourge at my flesh,
With no way to combine or mesh
With life
Strife
Burning away all the lies.
Smoke burns the eyes
and singes the throat
creating hazy rooms filled with ghosts.
My leash is slick with blood.
My prides lies back in the mud.
Lost boy...
Always played it oh so coy.
Broken soul...
Never destined to be whole.
I stand as the King of Fools.
Never playing by their rules.
Lost a game to the Queen of Hearts.
She of the razor tongue and false starts.
Champagne flowed like rains
As I lay in tatters and stains.
Falsehoods dance off her crimson lips
As she shakes her hips.
She dances to the tune of apathy...
As i beg her just to see me.
Now the game winds down
or maybe i just settle and drown.
In the darkness of her eyes
Or the subtle comfort of her lies...
Yeah so that was the first I hope to add more soon and hopefully whoever reads this enjoys it..
