Split

Tear away my flesh Till all that's left is bones Devour the meat as if it were your last meal Because it is I will reside inside of you and torment you Like a ticking time bomb The anxiety you will feel will seep out of your pores Melting away your essence Until all that's left is a shell of a person I will eat your soul Slowly drinking it away until I have lapped up every drop I am the devourer of souls I am chaos incarnate Anyone who gets close will get a taste of the horror I bring Praying for death I do not belong here This host has feelings that I cannot control Arguing with myself daily I do not belong in this body I do not belong here So I pray for death as I suck away at the souls of all I love Fighting with myself I am lost in my own head I am the devourer I am chaos I am torment Yet torment resides in me I am the devourer I am chaos I am tormented

Michelle, thanx for writing. I grew up under APARTHEID in South Africa, & wanted to kill our whites. Jesus changed me & everything. Now poetry is fun, but some are sad. Especially, "Anyone who gets close will get a taste of the horror I bring//Praying for death." Without this "fact" I could have read this poem about the God "Siva" who brings death, so space is made for new life. Siva's "death" takes us higher. Again, thnx & keep writing. Anil S. Deo

That's beautiful And that truly is a fact With life theres death and with death theres life Neither of the two can exist without the other And there is so much beauty in that
