Array ( [sid] => 166587 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Silhouette [time] => 2011-06-20 18:05:17 [hometext] => [bodytext] => The cancer has spread through his soul
He's just a ghost of who he once was
Thoughts plague him just like swarms of butterflies
His nightmares infecting his mind
Conflicted, the young man fights away the butterflies
He chooses to leave it all behind
Haunted by the face that stares back at him in the mirror
His demons have taken control
Embracing his psychosis he refuses to toe the line
He has grown restless throughout the years
With survival in mind he bides his time
Nihilistic and misanthropic, encumbered by sorrow
Constricted by apathy and anxiety
He sets his sights on a dystopic tomorrow
Embarassed by humanity he turns his back on society
Consumed by anger, his words cut like a knife
He's a saint with a sinner's tongue
A devil with a heart of gold
Delightfully flawed he broke the mold
He won't be tamed, no not in this life
He fell in love with death and made her his wife.
Oh they say misery loves company
So come waste away with me. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 106 [topic] => 43 [informant] => spencer1607 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )

What a dark and enticing passage...I imagine a place so hollow and terrifying that it is a home to shadows and horror...beautiful imagery that creeps up the readers spine...a very enjoyable read
