There it is again, That old sting. No drugs, no needles, Something else going in. Creeping up on me, Like lichen up a tree. Spreading like frost, Over a bedroom window. The pain comes fast, And the death comes slow. I feel no pulse until, There is someone else’s blood flowing through. I wish to deceive you, I wish to devour you. I only want you, To see how long I can bleed you. I wait until you let me in, Then I take everything. I will then abandon you, Leaving you with nothing. We’re all dying from an internal fire. We all feed on one another. Carnivorously, I consume others to stay alive. Life feeds on life, this is how we survive. I stared too far into the abyss, I dived too deep into it’s depths. I lost myself to what I found inside, And it made its home in my mind. Drop down a ****** For me to climb into. Open up my old womb, And breathe life into the new. I perish your human sacrifice, Hoping to relinquish me of this carnivore. Is it enough to suffice!? I want to be separate from this animal.

The Hunger
There it is again, That old sting. No drugs, no needles, Something else going in. Creeping up on me, Like lichen up a tree. Spreading like frost, Over a bedroom window. The pain comes fast, And the death comes slow. I feel no pulse until, There is someone else’s blood flowing through. I wish to deceive you, I wish to devour you. I only want you, To see how long I can bleed you. I wait until you let me in, Then I take everything. I will then abandon you, Leaving you with nothing. We’re all dying from an internal fire. We all feed on one another. Carnivorously, I consume others to stay alive. Life feeds on life, this is how we survive. I stared too far into the abyss, I dived too deep into it’s depths. I lost myself to what I found inside, And it made its home in my mind. Drop down a ****** For me to climb into. Open up my old womb, And breathe life into the new. I perish your human sacrifice, Hoping to relinquish me of this carnivore. Is it enough to suffice!? I want to be separate from this animal.
This is how I used to be as a person. Damaging to both myself and others around me. Don’t be stuck in this way of thinking, cleanse yourself and better yourself.
