The conjuring of an itch
This was kind of a spur of the moment write, written in about 30 minutes, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated..
You ever look a Man in his eyes
And watch him as he dies?
Watched the color leave his skin
and force his last breath with a sigh?
You dont know emptiness,
not the kind that dwells inside.
You know only of love and loss,
Not taking away life.
It eats away and turns your guts,
and boils in your veins,
Its like a drug that stole your love
and just wont let you get away.
At first you hate it and yourself
For losing that control.
For doing such horrific things
To such innocent souls.
Once that goes away
And takes with it all your fear,
You'll find guilt and remorse
can simply fade and disappear.
It becomes you, and your very life
revolves around the itch.
Doing all you must to scratch
And ease the nagging bitch.
No peace will come to mind
Nor ever again in life,
Save those ever-fleeting moments
between their skin and a sharp knife.
You'll hate yourself and claim
that you will change your wicked ways,
But take it from a changing man,
you can not change whats in your veins.
You can paint your face and smile,
even forget it for a while,
Take my word,
Its hiding there inside your bile.
you'll find yourself a passenger
To something much more vile.
You wont be in control,
you wont be anything anymore,
A void inside the head
of a monster that has no remorse.
Just emptiness inside,
a voice thats never heard,
A victim of the very beast
that you, yourself, conjured.
