Terrified

Weighed down in self doubt Your screams slow The ink has run out This empty book an open grave Biblical in its array of shared needles and truth turned gray Verbum Domini What once was railed against Eschewed for compliments Integrity doesn't pay the rent Just one more hit Catharsis by committee A blind eye to idols kneeling Commodified and empty Trailing ghosts Are you scared Are you terrified Who's gonna hold your hand when When you fade into light Turn her over like a phrase As done alone in younger days Before vanity struck mirrors replaced Granted sonnets from her lips On vapid words adrift This union an abyss Failing firmament Catharsis by committee A blind eye to idols kneeling Commodified and empty Trailing ghosts Are you scared Are you terrified Who's gonna hold your hand when When you fade into light Weighed down in self doubt Your screams slow The ink has run out The staining of a blank page Washed up on heaven's gate The queen is dead but prose remains Are you scared Are you terrified Who's gonna hold your hand When you fade in to Light Who's gonna hold your hand When you fade in When you fade into light
