Blue Devil Depression
his presence is repulsive
but he’s beautiful to me
soothing and distressful all at once
he stands before me
arms out stretched
urging me to take his hand
and I do
slowly he peels my innocent skin
and exposes my raw flesh
that he infects with psychosis
scabs begin to form
and he ushers me
into his brutality
he lusts upon my blemished soul
while he fucks himself
and reminds me
that nothing but frantic rage lives
among my forever stained eyes
I try to cover my shame
and make myself a shield from the fiery brimstone
my hopeless screams of repentance
echo and cloud my thoughts
I beg for just one drop of mercy
and to please kill the worms
that feast upon my heart
and continually gnaw through my bones
my desperate pleas anger him
and arouse him
he throws me by the neck
further into the fire
he’ll never release me
my pain is too pleasurable
for both of us
I am his black rose now
and he knows
this is where I thrive
this is where I want to be
and this is where I belong
but he’s beautiful to me
soothing and distressful all at once
he stands before me
arms out stretched
urging me to take his hand
and I do
slowly he peels my innocent skin
and exposes my raw flesh
that he infects with psychosis
scabs begin to form
and he ushers me
into his brutality
he lusts upon my blemished soul
while he fucks himself
and reminds me
that nothing but frantic rage lives
among my forever stained eyes
I try to cover my shame
and make myself a shield from the fiery brimstone
my hopeless screams of repentance
echo and cloud my thoughts
I beg for just one drop of mercy
and to please kill the worms
that feast upon my heart
and continually gnaw through my bones
my desperate pleas anger him
and arouse him
he throws me by the neck
further into the fire
he’ll never release me
my pain is too pleasurable
for both of us
I am his black rose now
and he knows
this is where I thrive
this is where I want to be
and this is where I belong

Very dark and disturbing, the imagery very vivid, brings to mind a series of books I read about Demons.
Sounds like a haunting of ones own conscious.
A great dark write Rachel.

I read and read again. Debilitating to envision this place. Smacks and punches my mind with both fists. Amazing piece.

That old Blue Devil...i do not like him one bit...I would like to take him by the neck and strangle him until his eyes bulged and he turned even bluer...but he would just laugh while I did..he gets strengths from your struggle at times..good stuff..thanks Rachel

I am very glad to have never been in a place where I can relate to this piece, but it gives one an insightful glimpse into that world. Well written!
