I have welcomed you back, my love Welcome back to hell. I issued a fair warning to the call-man On the watchtower, I told him           “Would you believe this if I told you?”           “You tell him that I am coming for him!”           “. . . and there will be more than hell to pay. . .” More than I could have ever dreamed. . . His blood is my blood & My blood is his. I will drown in it one day. He walks slowly into the center of my vision. I smell a false sense of fear, Was it I or him that reeked of this Blurred illusion of what we both shook from? I heard a child’s laughter in the fog (again) Was it I or him that brought this Old demon back in? I saw a trembling hand raise As the fire blazed in and out A knife became shape (again) Was it I or him that first reckoned this Evil deed of sin? I felt the blade slide in (again) Was it I or him that took this Task, this burden, this dream And crafted it into our own ****** up reality The blood was thick on the ground I taste that old familiar taste That ironic, irony, iron taste . . . old blood But again, was it I or him that began To sink not swim into this River of blood? My throat is fully coated in iron (Steal diamonds and gold) From that nightmare/dream And I lie here in my bed and think back To “where the **** is my coat?’
