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
