Poem
A thousand fights A thousand breaches I can't keep myself at bay A thousand bites From a thousand leeches Won't take the bad blood away A single black drop For a single small sin Seems all fairness requests to fulfill But if I do not stop I'll soon find within I've no red in my blood left to spill One sweet little lie sung A pitiful excuse A cancerous poison to hear I'd stitch up my tongue And sew up my mouth If these tales never be brought to ear One last indulge One last sweet taste Of the fruits of forbidden enjoyment One last deluge Of delusional haste Of virtue's belated employment Starving abysmal Aching and empty Clawing it's way to my decadent heart Hunger for sinful Finding there plenty Sated on tearing my body apart Gluttonous wanting Eating my heart out Never quite happy, always want more Vainglorious taunting Hubristically paramount I you will cherish, I you'll adore Envious sickness Burns me with longing All that you have is mine to possess Hungering wickedness Unchastely longing Control of your body I'll slyly wrest Basking in pleasure Of slovenly laze No more than a statue would I wish to be The only real measure Of happiness lays In the objects I treasure for their bond to me A wave of amber Furious fire I cannot quell the smoldering hate I can't remember A site so dire As my own despicable fate Cinders and ashes Piteous remains Only myself, charred, bleeding, long gone Faint memory flashes Infinitesimal pains Lament a life wasted in doing what's wrong.
