The blood of the covenant has stood
Mingling gore o’kinship brotherhood
The blood of the covenant is strong
Lack family ties but we all belong
The blood of the covenant gets shed
We fall, we fight, we rise, until death
The blood of the covenant courses free
We scoff at haunting calls of banshee
The blood of the covenant seals fate
For any opposer, death’s ne’er late
The blood of the covenant...
By candle’s flicker and moon’s dim glow,
A secret vow where shadows grow.
Two hands clasped in solemn bond,
A sacred pledge, unyielding, strong.
The blade gleams sharp, a fleeting sting,
A drop of life, a sacred thing.
Blood flows, a thread of fire,
Binding hearts with fierce desire.
No words can break what steel has sealed,
A truth to time and stars revealed.
Through storm and sun, through ash ...
To the girl in the velvet dress:
When you were born
You signed an unspoken contract
To agree to the silence
To not ask questions
To not challenge the status quo
The evidence is written
In stiff photo album poses and diamond smiles
In grand halls with high ceilings and tiny forks
In rides on friends’ boats
In itchy velvet kids clothes on Christmas morning
In safety handed out like ratio...
you know it would be easier to believe you missed me
if you treated me like an actual person last year
not some dirt under your shoe
maybe i hurt you before too
but i made up for it
i tried
i said sorry and meant it
and more than that, i fixed it
i made you feel loved
you made me feel like im not good enough
my love for you is never gone
i just pretend that it is,
shoving down as you wisk by me ...
I love the life i’ve built for myself
I’m truly happy
I smile
This time it’s real
My lips don’t hurt from holding it
for so long
I love my friends
Our laughter ringing in my ears
so light and delicate
I could make a dance to it
although there will always be
one thing missing
I too told myself I moved on
thought it just isn’t meant to be
no closure or anything
just being ignored the day we go back ...
I walked through my house
And I heard a faint noise
For a bug was in here
Near that bin with the toys
I looked around
With a net in my hand
For I had an idea
For I had a plan
The bug came out
And I jumped back in fear
For a roach just came out
Something to scare
The roach looked at the net
And it cowered away
That’s when I realized
Why am I afraid
I get on my knees
And stick out my arm
The roa...
