inside me bleed

 
solemn is the way, dark is my voice
I linger in the shadows bereft of thought
the darkness rises within me and sighs

vermin of doubt scatter
as the words shatter the silence
keen, as the need is spoken

bedeviled and bedamned
seducing spirits will not relent
I crave your soul and flesh
in the deepest recesses of my being, I desire

it is with great passion I conjure
roll the bones and chant
he will be mine in the noise
his greatest sin my prize

enters want with a condition
it must be with complete acceptance
no guile shall fall from my lips
incipient greed is angered
it wants him now

with a pledge of honor I vow
it will be done by the light of day
my dawning reckoning
