drowning in the dark disquiet
<\/strong>surrounded by unsettled soil
uncomfortable and yet in awe
beautiful and terrible
haunting in its artistry
a sweet and simple savage tear
right into your very soul
dreams and nightmares intertwine
sinister and yet somehow soothing
a lullaby that lures you in
and leaves you somehow satisfied
a glimpse of universal fear
what likely lives inside you now
brought to life in unique time
for delightful confrontation
a mirror held for you to face
to force feed you your faults and failings
in discordant melodies
that somehow soften the blunt edges
just enough to be palatable
but not entirely satisfying
still exquisite in its pain
that grows intense and unrelenting
so that you never have to feel
that strongly somewhere deep inside
cathartic consequences of
someone else\u2019s poignant words<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
