Demons smell blood
They've drawn it from my lips
The stones in my soul are heavy and as I set them aside,
I've been struck with them.
Demons smell blood and they seethe
and delight in the pain inflicted
My tongue is swallowed and my tears are damned.
I hold contempt through fingers of ash and water.
I expel the disgust at the demons drunk on their own sense of victory,
and it flows as curses.
and I am further alone than the silence where I began.
The demon shouts sins that I didn't commit.
It laughs stewing in the stench of its own smugness and it drives ME back
Demons smell blood and they cup their gnarled hands to drink it.
