Too many graves the corpses, gone. I counted wrong. Too many knives, the wounds, done. I healed wrong. Carving a waterfall in that trap door you call a soul. Craving to become a river to pour in you this madness you call my soul. Too many shadows the faces, gone. I thought wrong. Too much on my mouth the promises, done. I spoke wrong. Carving a crack in that wrecked beauty you call a heart. Craving to sneak and pour in you this virus I call love. Too much good heaven, gone. Too much joy disguises, done. I promised, never again. The fingers, crossed. Carving doodles in the ruins of who you were. Craving eternity as I pour this madness into the ocean you call us. [Another recurrence of the Devotion Rot habit—spilled as art. Writings about a consuming love we would love to hate.]

Craving, wrong
Too many graves the corpses, gone. I counted wrong. Too many knives, the wounds, done. I healed wrong. Carving a waterfall in that trap door you call a soul. Craving to become a river to pour in you this madness you call my soul. Too many shadows the faces, gone. I thought wrong. Too much on my mouth the promises, done. I spoke wrong. Carving a crack in that wrecked beauty you call a heart. Craving to sneak and pour in you this virus I call love. Too much good heaven, gone. Too much joy disguises, done. I promised, never again. The fingers, crossed. Carving doodles in the ruins of who you were. Craving eternity as I pour this madness into the ocean you call us. [Another recurrence of the Devotion Rot habit—spilled as art. Writings about a consuming love we would love to hate.]
To be loved for the good —quite easy. To be loved for the ugly in us —what an exquisite doom. "Come to me, bathed in corruption and sin. No clean feet step into my home"
