Heaven & Hell



Heaven & Hell

She flirts with the desire
 beyond he means...
 to appease laughter in caged fear
 she sheds a tear to numb the inner pain

 inside she hides from the insane
 wrapped up in the madness between heaven & hell
 yet she has a great story to tell
 looks to sin, self & Satan to get by

 very often to a substance that makes her get high
 shadows block her mere appearance of skeletal extremity
 blackened heart filled with stench with the residue of death
 long hanging fangs dripping blood off side

 she treads a fine line between two places
 faces, hands & feet
 Eruption
