Digging our fingers in wood-wall cracks
Puzzling through what must be done
Do not weep as these beams consume you
We shall never stay long, for we fear ourselves
We bar the door
As this rain creeps down
How strong we came
In our stolen box

I say this now, for I do not know
Through these windows I ought not go
Hell has come, they do not slow
Yet, through some mercy I do not choke
From soaking curtains around my throat

Find now in me some blistered seeds
These are the things I thought I’d come to be
Taking with us what we have not lost
We set ourselves on coat hangers to sway and rot
Through these panels we dream of self
The crow still screams
Through these twists and plots
“Fear us now, so we forget you not.”

It's funny taht you mention making a music video out of it, because almost all of my poems are spawned from an image or images in my head, which slowly evolve into words.  I'm glad to see you've enjoyed it.

That was intense!  I must say you have a knack for getting me tied up in your words.  Masterful!

I suppose I not ought to read dark poetry when feeling in a dark mood, but I found myself here and I'm glad I stopped by --
this is very good.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
