i still wake up in cold sweats from a dream that was set in hell a dream that remembers hell as it was, that night i found the devil i still feel the flames of his hands licking my skin my burns are still there though no one wants to see them anymore time does not heal all wounds it just allows for others to feel more comfortable and forget them gasoline is embedded in my skin it was sewn in with thread made of sin allowing for the smallest ember in the form of a possible threat to hold power that relights the inferno even if i wasn't really going to get burned. my mind wanders when walking home in darkness in a small dress the ground gets hot as hell creeps in again i walk faster as to not burn my feet and to avoid the sight of that same devil in the pupils of some other creep
