Carcasses of love (extended version)

You are all carcasses of love
I need none of you soulless beings
You're vestige leaves the stench of all that's ever and never have been
And Valium won't suffice to sedate the eternal suffering I endure

Green turns grey while silent tears of mine suffice for your loud mirth
Alas I knew I'd fall prey one day
To your treacherous gambit
For I had created a monster, yet
Only to be replayed ad nauseam

And yet I walked down that path
That led me to my grave
Your sly smile those lips so vile
Shot poison through my vein
Your hypnotic iris the dilated pupil
Triumphed at luring me into oblivion

And there stood I pondering

You laughed and you strolled
Our cares stood trolled
I was left midway, midnight,wondering
My childhood never taught me this
My innocence was my armour once
That now buried deep into the unknown

My shadow said
And my spirit too
Be righteous and you'd walk smoothly through

Now that my path is lost
Now that my dream is burnt
My shadow gone
My spirit's come by far undone
