I am tonight

Silver bullets taste like fish,
as I rest my thoughts tonight.

Chilled by the gentle angels,
Please take me away tonight.

Trapped by this key I've swallowed
help me find my heart tonight.

Digging into your ivory wings,
I dare myself to escape tonight.

The errors of sorrow breathe,
will I die in words tonight.

Sheets of black, scrumpled to blue
I am alone, I am tonight.

the images were stunning
the double line format effective,
the word "tonight" at he end of the second line gave pattern.
Obviously a struggle going on within one person through the entire piece.
Very, very well written.
