| 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 all my loving memories became scenes of frenzied
|
| Slaughter my hands became cruel talons as they moved to destroy her her neck
|
| Broke like a toy in a careless child’s grip my tears rained down into dead
|
| Eyes and splashed upon her lifeless lips I put her in the ground like a
|
| Flower here 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 treeline 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 it
|
| Just had to be her I smell honeysuckle then opium two of her signature
|
| Scents I pull aside all the thistles and vines 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 sliding down trying so hard not to fall
|
| Slipping on the blood that’s seeping from the walls then 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 the end is moving into sight I gasp
|
| And I scream as I see her lovely mouth five times the size of me her lips
|
| Curl into a grin around her crooked gnashing teeth I’m pulverized and
|
| Devoured in the jaws of a girl seventeen |
