Release by Crimson Quintessence

Life, why are you always testing me? My knowledge, my patience. You really know how to push my buttons. I’ve become thankful to the quill in my right hand for my releases. It’s the only thing that fully understands one’s struggles. Self-talk is one of the most powerful things we possess. No matter what any […]

Abstraction by Crimson Quintessence

  To dream My preoccupation One might think it’s a flaw I think it’s a gift To wander in dreaminess Creating wonder for one’s self. How can it be wrong? Capture one thought Simple, serene, tranquil Make it yours If only for a brief moment Wrap it around your soul Distract yourself from life’s stresses […]

Payback Over by Crimson Quintessence

I’m ready to go home I’m tired I saw it coming Unfolding before my very eyes A toxic entity, That was you. Full of excuses Full of lies The blankest of stares Behind your dark eyes. Joint in one hand Knife in the other, You cornered me Your angel and lover. I submitted my body […]

Let the Beast In by Crimson Quintessence

I go through the action For your satisfaction But the reality is An insignificant fraction. Stains on the walls Stains on the floors Splatter on the ceiling Oh, what a feeling.

The Shelf by Crimson Quintessence

A lifetime guarantees That’s what you offered to me Fear they neighbour they warned, Who knew, I’d become the untouched lover scorned. Coming undone at the seams, Wakefulness with silent screams. I wanted revenge at the end, Knowing your words were all for pretend. You cut through my heart like a knife, Taking precious time […]
