Thirsty
Arise do the temptations
of my innermost thoughts
which by lock and key
had been banished
Into the deepest corner of Hell's ninth
whose icy grasp
has engulfed my morale.
Clouded do my thoughts become
filled with greed..desire..
and sunlight fades
as the clouds conquer the blue.
On colorless perches the vultures wait
as my strength fades
and I slowly fall
upon sins' doorstep.
Abashed am I, the lost soul,
whose cursed eyes see only darkness
and whose beating heart
lives black as coal.
What am I
that I thirst for pain
and offer no mercy
to the innocent beings?
A beast not of this world;
a cretin whose thirst is quenched
of blood and tears.
Wherefore does the warmth lie
that shall so replenish me as I was
and keep me from malicious acts
that provide joy in the darkness?
