Reveries of a Subverter
Submissive. Docile. Passive.
A box. A cocoon. A shell.
No it isn't a safe house
for death or here after.
It is a screen of fear,
my dread-filled dear.
One over truth
and reality my friend
A false light in a cave
A dark shade over love
Its not an orchid darling
But a swarm of Mantes.
Cutting your eyes
with blades and lies.
But you love it don't you?
you won't ever dare to resist,
you wont ever dare to subvert,
would you?
Because heaven is awaiting you
with all that gold isn't it Darling?
Promises of wine and wishes,
are dying to be fulfilled aren't they?
Oh I how I envy you,
to be living in a world
only to realise
that all I know
is truly nothing.
