Devil's Heart

Cold hands pull me from my slumber,

and drag towards my fear.

I can't move or scream no one can hear.

Scratch the scabs,

let me ****

There is no ointment or antibiotic to cure my infection.

My skin is lead,

breath of poison.

There is no hope for those around me.

I will melt their hearts,

don't come to close.

For I am my own devil,

my own dark shadow.

I've fractured my own heart,

it won't be undone.

As long as I'm contained...

Retreat.
