been lonesome two years since she disappeared i'm at the park where she was last seen a vast green clearing wrapped up in maple trees spilling the morning rain from their leaves
i used to walk here with a girl seventeen at the time mistress of seventeen smiles sublime with flaming locks of red in autumn and burning locks of orange in the summertime
we were solemn and awkward that last night together she laid by my side staring into starless skies black as fallen angel feathers i stared into the forest pretending not to see the hangmen she was hiding in her eyes of serpent green
she said there was another i refused to believe her i'd thought we'd kiss till our tongues tied together i'd thought we'd kiss till our tongues tied together
all my loving memories became scenes of frenzied slaughter
my hands became cruel talons as they moved to destroy her as they moved to destroy her my hands became cruel talons as they moved to destroy her as they moved to destroy her
my hands became cruel talons as they moved to destroy her as they moved to destroy her
her neck breaks like a toy
in a careless child's grip
my tears rained down into dead eyes and splashed upon her lifeless lips
down upon her lifeless lips
i put her in the ground like a flower i put her in the ground like a flower
i put her in the ground like a flower
i am standing in that same spot today where my angel's empty shell last laid and as my tears began to well up once more i see a path into the tree line that i'd never seen before i follow it down into a ravine find a hole in the earth framed in the roots of a birch tree subtle echoes of her voice speaking words I've never heard but the way she hissed her "s"'s i knew it had to be her i smell honeysuckle then opium two of her signature scents i pull aside all the thistles and mesmerized i make my descent as i crawl further inside the light slowly dies and the dirt begins to feel like her skin i tremble as i drag my fingers down the walls caressing her sweet flesh again
i'm slipping downwards trying so hard not to fall slipping on the blood that's seeping from the walls
suddenly i'm surrounded by a thousand of her eyes bathing the tunnel in a strange green light
the eyes show me pictures
like ghostly television screens
all her thrashing final struggles and her ravaged corpse serene
the tunnel is closing behind me
pressing me further and further down
i'm being swallowed by her earth and consumed by her ground by her ground
the end is moving into sight i gasp and i scream
as i see her lovely mouth five times the size of me
