Scarlet Crystal
Bibbity Rabbity
Never-Ending Nightmare
Poised on the brink of the afternoon
No more room in my head for flips.
The ink drips from your hands,
Poisoning the land below.
Show me how to shine
I bow to those who can win
And of my own kind,
I cannot give in to it.
A blot on my record,
High off nothing at all,
Recording my every word;
If you're ready for a fall then do.
But as home has lured me once
Steady as that rhythm,
Roaming like my heart,
It'll cart me off to my doom
Like a hymn.
A desolate tune in your very soul
A hole, not filled by this
And when we have to pay the bill
You'll say, "Can't you?"
But I won't, it's not true
That I lost it; shut out,
Flouting my credits,
If you ever found out'
Forever like a dog
Left to part the fog alone
Not quite bereft of emotion.
Please leave on the light
Like lotion on my skin
Where within I cannot run
A ton of bricks in my way.
And when God is there
I pray hard to him
That my share will come to me,
Though not a shard of my sanity remains
After this calamity took it away.
Don't ask me if laughter can say;
The force of my task it too great
You'd hate me, too,
If you only knew what I can do.
But I'm still here,
Wallowing in my fear of heights
As the night comes on and I find myself
Stunned into erasure;
My mind feels little else.
None of us can wield this power
Whittled away over millennia
Government at its very best
Smartly as you may
The crest of dignity resides.
Wary of your sin
You rely on it in the early hours,
Partly to forget what's to come.
Set up to kill your best friend
You lend a hand to nobody in particular,
Just to be the first in command
When daylight sets you free.
I don't know how to bend that far
True, it's easily done,
But if the bar was any higher
I might not have won.
If there's one thing I hate it's fighting
Especially the ring of silence,
More so than the compliance of speech
Whatever you preach
I can't seem to reach you any more.
And I'm not hungry, so shoo!
You don't fool me,
You and your trends.
You couldn't con me into believing
You'd met your end,
Because I'd leave you here
To remember this is what you get
Seething, glowering at me like that.
As the hours pass in fear
Sheer will calms your head,
Lowering us; I prepare for the next step
As I'm broken, not fixed.
Hot and hollow all at once,
I clutch your shawl to me-
Yes, I know you're my crutch-
I'm undressed without you,
There's just something about you
So I can't live without you
And I'll have to give in.
Ticking closer to the hour of chance
I lick my wounds;
No, they're not as fancy as yours,
But lo and behold I feel them sting
Since nothing is better than integrity.
Behind the wheel, that's what I think
When I put my toe out of line.
And once again, I find myself
Poised on the brink of the afternoon
When I yawn and move on.
Poised on the brink of the afternoon
No more room in my head for flips.
The ink drips from your hands,
Poisoning the land below.
Show me how to shine

Bravo Sc, bravo! Only if I could write beautiful poetrty like that! I'm sorry..but I really am at a loss for words.
