Poison
Black blood flows through my veins
An artist is painting away at my fate, with crimson delight
Attacked from within, eating away the essence
Of someone I once was, eons ago
My veins crawling with demons
Devouring flesh, bone and soul
I suffer in the heat of my confines
There is no escape from the monsters within
I sweat out this foul and evil devil
In tears, I know I infect the surroundings
Run, run and hide
I yell to you
I have no hunched back
No warning bells to ring
Ebola would be the sweet syrup of pain
Compared to my offerings
A withering flower, cowers at my passing
Soon
To sing upon my grave
