I have always been drawn to destruction;
air too thin to breathe-
I carry a pain eyes can't receive.
life and evil are only a letter apart,
and I've come to believe
this was no mistake;
the devil wears sweatpants and a rosary.
he weaves his fingers
through yours tightly
every time he holds you down-
and he shines-
stolen halos line red wrists,
they bang against the drywall-
its four in the morning
and he's come into the room again-
he forever invites himself in
maybe this time God will hear the ringing,
clinging together,
the halos,
the angels
will flee to ****** back
their innocence.
brilliance.
and the motion will cease.
the clouds, close.
claiming "possession"
is out of the question
for he did not seize my soul-
I extracted it, split my skull
all for a taste of the afterlife.
he loves mirrors and other pathways
of reflection;
the evil only seem to love themselves.
I am used to blinding confusion
and bittersweet illusions,
I crave the burn that follows pain.
he likes to leave a mark
beyond scarring the skin,
but I promise,
the worst is within-
life and death are only a day apart
and I've come to believe
I am stuck in between,
and the devil continues,
blissful and free.
