haunting sirens & forgotten alarms

hold me, as I melt in your arms,

like tears made of iridescent wings.

haunting sirens, forgotten alarms,

just to wear your paper rings. 

tell me, that the world isn't cruel, 

as you sip on ruby blood.

and you pick me out, jewel after jewel,

till it flows furiously, as a flood.

my fire never burnt you,

as you were always made of ice.

darkened by horrors untrue,

and so you rolled the dice.

to haunt me until I fell for,

your game and tilted stage.

you whispered to me and swore,

that we were on the same page.

I'm just like you, both the same 

thick as blood and light like water,

the difference is the way we play the game,

in the eyes of those I slaughter. 

you were fine as you walked away,

armored with the fire from my eyes,

and left only the cold and gray,

then promised me your striking lies.

the walls came crumbling down,

and in the rubble fell the key,

and even though you got the crown,

darling, what about me?
