All Too Curious

from the split and vicious grin of my god

the screams and blood and bone and bile of those who do not pray for it

get on your knees

grind then into the asphalt until your own blood pools

turn your head to the sky and open your mouth wide in a screaming prayer

take in the filth pouring from above

be delighted and thankful

or next time if will be you

their breaths ragged and their wails shrieking

their bodies hold no air

no feeling in their heartless forms

and yet they weep for you

A tradgedy among tradgedies

the anguish in you so thick

the heavens themselves are filled with it

it sees your struggle

The agony of it is blinding and white

I am the burning man

My eyes melted in their sockets

Flesh burning a vibrant red and black, boiling on the surface

Bones black and brittle

But he smiles, I smile

I laugh

In the pain of the Burning man

A pain slow weight

It doesnt sink into me effortlessly like a stone dropped into the sea

It cracks and shatters my ribs

Crushing down into my lungs

Filling every wheezing gasp with blood

The blood blocks my throat

Keeping my voice silent

I cannot cry out

Lightless is the forever pitch black

In the trench where no living thing has ever touched

Nary a sound to be heard, the perfect breeding ground for a lightless God

The kind that brings me crashing to my knees as it stabs at my heart like a molten blade cauterizing the wound and leaving a painful sizzling hole in its wake

It's holds your neck tight

Bringing you in for a rotten bloody kiss

Forcing the blood and gore that flows from its mouth down your throat

Making itself apart of you in some sick twisted way

You can never be free of this taste

This violation

The creature only smiles down on you from its alter

It's smile wide and ever dripping gore

In its worship you wretch

In its worship you beg

And for what?

Is it the flicker of black just out of sight?

Or the creeping silence that roars in your ears and drives nails into your skull?

Is it the ice that has started to crawl it's way back up from your hands and feet, sinking painfully into your chest?

It's all of it, the intensity and agony of it all, burning you with its cold vice it has on you.

There isn't much you need to do to draw me in

A simple smile

A flutter of your lashes

A roll of your eyes

The melody of your laugh

Anyone could see you are divine

Good evening my dear

May the day treat you well and the dappled light that falls through the leaves, leave delicate kisses of admiration

The sheer mass of the evil that i hold is more then you could even imagine

But you, simply refused to imagine it

You walked past my wretched and twisted body and waltz directly onto my soul

Locking the door tightly behind you as you weave an intricate cage around me

Which each sweet word and loving glance your crafted cage shrinks
