Sacrifice

I name these vessels My lonely freedom Their destination Confiding in demons I paint an eyeless Returning feeling The arms that hold me My evil’s kneeling I write for downpour Regret this shelter I cry before her But hide forever I torture my past The things that made me A child that died for Something they won’t see A man that’s faceless Prays that we all burn The son that witnessed Has fading concern I name these vessels My only freedom The hands of angels Burn for my demons
