GRAVE THY COMPANION Fiery shadow claw deep the surface of life Life wrought destructive taste – embraced by a boy destined to slay the man They all preached oh how he could be – he could be - he could be; fuck them all They see not thy reflection gazing back predatory eyes gleaming Slavering for the throat – ambiguous strain for life we yield Hushed thoughts that scream Relief is isolated Gallop good companion – if thy reach me - penny these tortured eyes I have but to accompany thy self To the gates of hell we stride forth I march in line trembling detour He screams; I abide the order It is just that; disastrous order Hollowed prints of those before me, embrace the gravel with a silence all could hear The gates call – I lend my ear The movement is breached – we find our eternal sleep Thy grave is my companion – the silence none could hear I’ve lent this demon all future years ~ Submitted...
