Once

Many times

I've weighed my heart

Against another

Of those I've slain

And every time

I'd wait for the truth

That would scream

For me to perish too

But perhaps death

Is too small of a price

For someone drowned in blood jewels

The most fitting crown

Is one of hollow bones

That I can barely

Keep on my head

As it becomes

Ever more

Heavy

Like the souls

In heaven

Are pressing down

With the weight of the sky
