you serve wine that intoxicates angels
with pandemonium lies
(and feed upon the
       ambrosial lives of the evil)
injecting the damned with
false dreams of redemption
(but you only kill to share
           the pain of mortality's dull sword)

i was born in a martyr's crypt
and fell in love with you in the maelstrom of suicide

and now

i am death with life's soul
a lover with a hater's passion
and no matter how much i tear at the skin
the flesh is still glued together with cyanide's frozen glue
sticking to my fingers like the odious
homicides of the morning dew

and you only laugh at the beautifully broken
porcelain tears of a fallen doll
thrown through heaven's glass pane windows
to land in hell's toy box

you said that you would fix her
and cure the myocardial infarction
sitting in your filthy hands
but you were right to run a knife against it

because you promised me a life
served in a golden goblet

         
and instead i got nostalgia
Lies are prettier on your lips.

I like what you did with Anne Rice here. Well done.
