Strong And Tall And Better

I'm all alone now
They're all gone
I'm all alone
But that's okay.

I didn't need them anyway.

And look, see, they don't need me
They lie where they have been-
Yes, my friends, my fellows
Certainly seem to be enjoying their naps, don't they?

What, you don't believe me?
Look, look at them
At their red tears that pool around them
Their redder smiles
Some even still dance on their
Platforms in the air.

Alone? Why, yes, indeed
It's better this way-
Now I won't have to hear them-
Their dagger-words, toxin-laughs
Their 'just jokes', their ... Whatever
I'm all alone now
It's better this way.

Singularly, I stand alone
Truly, the best-
For if I wasn't, would I be here?
Gonegonegone
They go
I stay
Alonealonealone
Better - betteryesbetter-
This way.

(I don't know if me not being Poe is a good or a bad thing... XD)

Gone

Started out perfect, then the poison set in. I feel no shame In my twisted mind games I'm beyond what passes for sane My soul is past that kind of pain. Reality is a fantasy now.

Don't You Know?

Can you see through the lies. Are the webs pulled too tight. Running rampant with knives. But nobody knows where they hide. Until its too late. Blood fills the place. You laugh in the shadows.

No Sounds

Silence. No sounds. Cruel agonising weighted palms -motionless. Awkwardly tilting heads - slewed. No sounds. Aching eyes straining, squinting, Scanning shadows - flickering doubts. No sounds.

@Platypus Surprisingly, it wasn't that easy to run with the line, but I did less running and more ripping. XD
