I haunt you with my venomous tongue.

Like a lingering ghost, so close to your ear!

A natural born pigeon kicker!

Your scent like a gift of the heavens.

I watch you in your slumber.

As you dream of arcades and city lights.

My face peels at the thought.

Revealing a golden mask.

You are so graceful in your velvety sheets.

A red knee on the palm of your hand.

One, two, three, squeeze!

Steel spires like cold evergreens looming over my head of glass

As I replace my will with loathing

Nothing is as honest as the hate that drives me

Nothing as cold as my touch

Once more I transcribe

My thoughts into a sober sermon

As love oh so slowly turns

Into nothing but a feeble memory

Steel spires and barbed wires

Icy veins and dried out brains

Snowfall like a silent storm

All over me

Just another lonesome heat wave

I simply am a watchful eye

You still don't know of my existence

Of course you don't

I underwent spiritual metamorphosis

Just for you

Just for you, I morphed into a silent bird

With eyes that oversee your every move

In your summer dress

Like a phoenix taking flight

In your high tops

Confident as always

I remember seeing you at the nearby lake

Like a somber siren, you disappeared into the ripples

I know you so well

Yet we haven't spoken once

They call me the ghost of the forest

Clad in brown and black

Expelled from my house

Corey is my name

I cleanse the woods of a dormant evil

Yet nobody sees my efforts

As I protect my people

Without being one of them

As I wander this cold, forlorn land

I spill my life onto the soil

Leaving behind an ashen trail

Of shining gold and white marble; monumental in your glorious form

You are the chimaira, indescribable in how you move

Down where the old willows dance

I see you performing

A rite of the heavens blue

A night like a dagger in my spine

You're so marvelous, beautiful

Yet you have three heads

None of them smiling

The seasons change within you

And your core becomes inert

As the arrowhead pierces skin and flesh

Your slumber finds an abrupt end

This life, nothing but a fleeting memory

Nothing but a masochistic dance

Cicadas, like a frightful choir

Ravaging the silence of the night

Your patch of heaven

Stained by the lead you leak

A life spent in cacophony

Days of old, they seem so bright

Your heart, it longs for motion

But your body longs for rest

The gentle wind across your face

As you spread your luminous wings

Upon a green hill, half swallowed by the dawn

I stand burning brightly

Like a dominating quasar

Scorching the grass around me

You try to extinguish the fire

But my blood fuels the blaze

As the flames turn my body to ash

The wind carries my remains away

Far away to a distant domain

Where the dust that was once a mere human

Reforms into a shining star

An ethereal melody springs from your aura

Drowning out the hatred in the air

The wind of remembrance exhilarates my idle mind

Carrying away my name

A pink sapphire adorns your sternum

Illuminating our maze of a world

Your intrepid soul, so unshakable

Like an inextinguishable flame amidst a storm

Your voice sets the sky ablaze

All sorrow fades in your wake

You command the evening light

To embrace this desolate world

I roam this empty room

Without moving an inch

I reach towards the ceiling

And my hand is kissed by Ashmedai himself

My body hosts a ten-legged abomination

Eating me slowly from the inside

But this endless pain

Won't stop me

This fiend inside of me

Too powerful for me to tame

Takes every cell of my frail body

And turns them into vermin

The pulse of my very existence

Nothing but a scorching pain

My body now pandemonium

A place for archdemons to roam

Yet my inner force is building

Blooming like a blackened rose under the moon

My innards shift wildly

To form a superior spirit

My viscera now a sinister mass

Driving me forward

To bring the rain to you all

To bring the war to you all

I strive to cleanse this town

From all that is ill

They tell me all these filthy lies

That he is with him now

With our loving god

Our loving god?

I am most bitter

As I still writhe in pain

I was stung by a thousand wasps

And stripped of all that is good

Of all that is beautiful

Of all that was ever given to me

I am a stray bullet, a rogue arrow

Ready to pierce all that is living

I am the nameless tomb

I am the soul snatcher

I am the used whore

The accursed victim

They talk about god

As I brace my tongue

My poor mother, being fed the same lies

God is a deceiver

What I lost I cannot reclaim

But I can take the rain to you all

Take your beloved crucifix

And lick it all over

Shove it down your throat

Jesus of Nazareth; look at him

Going feet first down your fucking throat

As your eyes water

From shoving the lord down your gullet

I drown in laughter

In infinite laughter

The first time I've laughed in a while
