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.

Craving, wrong
Fishing at the edge of this abyss murky waters swallow my feet always wondering, wondering always what lurks underneath? Setting a beautiful net shiny fabric swallowed by haze always fooled fooled always what will I trap? Fishing at the verge of this abyss mucky waters stain my skin always hoping hoping always it will be worth it. Fisher, you should have known only foul critters crave beauty. Fisher, you should have known only atrocious jaws devour love. Setting a beautiful net worn out golden fabric always loving loving always the teeth sinking in my hands. Setting a tender net sewn back with hair always knowing knowing always who would adore you if it is not me? [Another recurrence of the Devotion Rot habit—spilled as art.

Those Who Crave Beauty
Midnight makes no sound when it arrives. Silently deadly you sneak into my bones, sweetly deadly you nest inside. With no time to escape and too scared to play dead. Night craves for no light and my only shelter is my own flesh but oh wait, you are already inside. Silently deadly like a virus, sweetly deadly like love. Every day at dusk, I hide. But oh wolf, you have to find me only once. Loudly blatantly you munch my bones, delightfully blatantly you nest inside. [Another recurrence of the Devotion Rot habit—spilled as art.]

Sweetly Deadly
I rest your head on my lap and I promise everything is alright. I caress your hair— and it's myself who I deceive when I say I will heal all that aches. Playing peek-a-boo with your demons I grant each and every desire. Gasping lullabies to your ear, do you rest when they sleep? Playing hide and seek with your demons they feed me all your whims. Gasping bedtime stories to your ear until you fall asleep and they come with me. [Another recurrence of the Devotion Rot habit—spilled as art.]
