stained by pain

the weak inherit the grave

Honed to the bone and alone

dreams turn to stone.

crimes of the mind

With eyes the darkness blinds.

With a lashing of the noose

You’re seduced

To pressurize

in its thrall you realize.

You bleed

on me

it feeds

with me

terrorized

With all your might

Breathe

a sacred verse

say it with Teeth

This is a brawl…

A fight …

A war…of romance

with the dark
