It's a cruel melody when you...
Carillon
Resonance of smudged ink of moonlight
in darkness, the cruel melody plays on
repetitive promises ceasing their rhythm
yanked out of my skin to your drumbeat.
Lilting distortions smothered in fabrication
standing forlorn in striking dissonance of you
night pounds on spiked shoes on my heart
humming a discordant stream of sour notes
Echoes of trumpets stomping on my pain
stormed sorrows pounding on my core
mantras curling around swollen bruised feet
shrill whispers crossing my shadows swiftly
Chants repeating in the dead of the night
the doors slamming shut to hidden refrains
our unison together beating no more
carillon ceasing abruptly, frozen in time.
