This is going to hurt Submission always does Joining the parade of grief An absurd carnival charging onward to the eclipse Forward, stumbling blindly, with high hopes of release Abyssic relief Forward! Reaching forth toward those parasites of atonement Feeling them burrow deep into vein Watching the hollowness manifest in unprecedented ways Even...Learn More

Stranger to my body Intruder of your form The unfurling bile supernova burning Occludes peripheries and warning Exquisite carnal reckoning Impassioned raking of flesh Furrows into poisoned soil Symbiotic and hungering Oh, scourged as I am beneath my veil; Give me a reason to fail! How can the storm seem to calm Adrift within your smothering...Learn More

Oh, I'm writhing with life! The sharp edges dulled The first touch of mercy swings down on me Like the last ragged breath that slips away But oh, I'm seething with joy! Slow shaking steps toward a fluorescent new day Their welcoming embrace Laughter spills from my lips like the ash from a shattered urn I'm patient zero, event horizon; the eternal...Learn More

Lumbering from darkened rooms Slithers through ward corridors In witching hours searching for the end; for the final chapter A breathless epilogue and the bliss of release Soul rot The terminus of spirits when all is lost Watch yourself fade to a pinprick Forgotten and scarred by despair Give yourself over to decay To watch everything you loved...Learn More

Throw weakest arms around the vessel It is swathed in ragged cerements Dressed in manufactured love Excruciating affection Rotten all the way through to the bone Virulent to the touch Collapsing all under its own weight Shambling human wreckage Broken, pitifully so, under the whip A storm of self-destruction Treacherous, the limerence that...Learn More

Thrash my revenant form against the gathering dark That swarms in purulent configurations I swear I could hear someone calling out from that muck The cadence of a voice I hoped never to hear again A phantom's cruel whispering to take dignity in the end Something follows It has festered in the dungeons of consciousness And I have heard the hissing...Learn More
