Who am I
But a piece of you?

In fields of rye
Lies become true.

A skinwalker
I stalk the night

I silently saunter
Between wrong and right

Your face is mine
For I miss my own

Straight down the line
Pain is sown
Skinwalkers are Native American folklore, they steal the skin of animals (including humans) and lure other creatures in so they may **** and steal more skins.

dark and cold
memories black and old

none can save me
so why would you dare try?

can you not see
how I can never cry?

no blood dripped
when my soul was ripped

to shreds on the floor
as i watched in pain

There's nothing in this life
for a nomad in the shrapnel rain.

My chest bleeds
And it all goes black

If you knew the seeds
You’d know it all goes back

To that moment I opened
My eyes to this cruel world

And then I listened
As their hatred unfurled

My body bleeds as a result
Of my first breath

An egregious insult
To the jaws of death.

Never stare into it
For too long

You may hear the siren song
Of the endless pit

That you may find within
Your hollow carcass

The void of sin
The lonely darkness

That corrodes your being
From within to out

And steals your feeling
But will never shout
Keith Strand Feb 2020
Lungs screaming fire
Drooling ****** upon the ground

Drowning yourself in the pyre
Drowning out all other sound

A conflagration in your eye
Turning your will to ash

A blaze so high
It made the heavens crash

An ember so all-consuming
It took your very soul

— The End —
