Your flaking skin so solemnly plays God
Blowing into the night, flesh peeling from below your eyes
In which a nightmare is bred, and Lucifer seduces ‘almost’ matters
From imagination to exaggeration, feeding off bits, but pieces
The life you left to perish
Born once again into the toxic waste of humanity

I agree with Kaoru.
Your work is intense and blisteringly vivid.

Emily - A vivid indictment written by the ink of terror on a sheet of horror. It's just enough to blow any mind too. Yet, it commands attention. Intriguing. Namyh
