One Last Bloodstain
my life is frozen
and stuck in time
an endless torture
an endless rhyme
bloodstained bedsores
and lifetime slits
a world of chaos
and murderous skits
in a world that's mine
but in mind of my own
torture of gashes
bloodstained stone
beating the skin
and ripping the flesh
raping the corpse
and burning the rest
a world of nightmares
a world that's mine
going nowhere
time after time
an endless torture
a lifetime of pain
the clock wont move
covered in stain
who could rot
or sever the thumb
but time is not
as fingers go numb
and endless hallway
a never ending chasm
the nerves thine rattle
a never ending spasm
run away
a time that's gone
you're back again
what is wrong?
they always move
watch the dead
they're alive i think
the talking head
he told me to live
but never to leave
i live here forever
to cry and to grieve
the loss of the ones
i thought i never knew
to mourn and to pain
i'm sorry i lost you
tattered remains
of hands and things
feet and heads
and other things
the bedpost is gone
save but the doorstop
everything dies
the clock won't stop
carving insignia
losing the air
a face in the dark
a dead given stare
eyes in the shadow
teeth in my vein
the teeth are my own
my own bloodstain
a knock on the wall
a corpse on the fan
no one is there
only the dead can
a killer's life
a yesterday's plight
a life of solitude
a life of no light
wrongful rights
and others done
save but the few
uncharted gun
aim at the start
the source of the pain
a bullet through the head
one last bloodstain
