Unroyally Blue
Demon clown, face crusty and painted
Young boy’s eyes closed, dreams so tainted
The skin is ice white and eyes unroyally blue
His toothy cracked smile beckons to you
He comes closer, claws toy with your hair
Flicks at your lobes with split goblin tongue
Out of the shadow he steps, his form unbearably bare
His toothy cracked smile beckons to you
The drip of a tap becomes louder too soon
The glint of light hits the floor of the room
Razor blade kindess whispers from the floor
His toothy cracked smile shows what’s in store
He whispers in your ear horrors to fear
Eyeball to painted eyeball, a contest of stares
There’s a destination beyond these four walls
The baby’s cries still echo across the halls
The light from the floor is getting brighter
Reflected glint off broken mirror shard
This heavy sleeved shirt is getting tighter
Awaking from these dreams get quite hard
The mirror on the floor, stuck like glue
You bend down to inspect and over you fall
The reflection greets you, eyes unroyally blue
His toothy cracked smile beckons to you
