Hunger

yes.

Bloodlust the likes of which you have never seen

Murder.

Kill and

kill

and kill

then kill a little more.

You will never hold us, we are

So much better.

You will never contain us, we have

Power. Such power, you are

. . . insignificant.

Fear us.

Run from us.

Lose yourself, for we are

Massacre

Terror

Monsters

Kings.

We are lies

nightmare

loss

creature

Death.

we are the darkness spilling into your veins, mixing red with black

is it painful?

are we painful?

good.

We've no love of you

rather, we delight in our dislike of your pretty, pure soul

We're within you now, we hear your every thought

You're trapped with us

You should have left us in our sentence,

Hunting and taking and tormenting, tasting the flavor of blood in our mouths

there's a reason why the other monsters fear us

There's nowhere you can hide, because we're already there.

No escape

no refuge

no relief

There is no hope.

We'll swallow you whole

break you down

chew you up

spit you out

Your flesh will catch on our teeth

crimson staining our lips

no one will hear your voice

you don't matter

You are no one.

No one, do you see?

But we

We hurt

so pleasantly. Can you feel it?

Do you feel our agony?

We exult in it, our suffering

and so you hold in your own

all the while

We writhe

We burn

inside of you.

We sear your lungs, scald your eyes

char your flesh

Blister your tongue until your words are

Ripped away, and

torn apart, and

frayed at the edges, and

absolutely . . .

. . . irreversibly . . .

(You are)

. . . meaningless.

In the face of us

Your bitterness

adversity

Your mistakes

misunderstandings

Oh, how human one little angel can be

We know

You'll taste so fucking sweet

upon our black tongues.

Andyouare

Nothing.

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

Nothing

You are nothing.

and you know it.

We will not be chained down

We will not be restrained

You will not hold us back

You will not hold us in

We will never rot, nor die

we will know decay, but never ours

you are nothing

We are everything

how hopeless you are

wrecked and ruined

We are all that you are not.

Strong

and

malignant

and

acidic

your desperation is such a lovely thing to see.

You're breaking, oh so beautifully we watch you crumble, your control is dust, your sanity is not well. We are not right, we are too right for you to take, and so you are wrong.

Oh, are you wrong

and wrong

and wrong

but we were right

you taste so very bitterly, madly sweet

You taste like blood

You taste like ash

You taste like shame

You taste like fire

You taste like us.

insanity is such a fine flavor

you will agree, won't you?

No you won't

Because it's yours

Try it

Try it

Go on

bright angel

Go on

Bring forth the rage.

You can scream

you can shout

you can curse

you can cry out

No one will hear you

in reality, you make no sound.

So

Silence is golden, cherish the quiet

creatures such as us don't sleep

You'll never be alone

Aren't you glad?

we're with you

aren't you glad?

Such a vivid soul

it's caught on our razor teeth

We'll tear it apart and let it dissolve

The taste of Heaven and corruption

it's tainted as if we've already fed, you shouldn't miss it too much

it's worthless.

And

We feed upon your sense of honor

your betrayal

We feed upon the wall you tore down and the siblings you've slaughtered

We feed upon your anger, your missteps

Your lack of understanding,

Your angelic inhumanity

We hunger for the light running through your veins

even as we bleed black from ours

We feed from your shadowed Grace,

Parasites searching for twisted sustenance

We crawl around your feeble mind

You are not nearly as courageous as you want to be.

Here you are

here you are

come here

Coward.

So that you can

Break the seal

Break the dam

Break the vessel

Break the heart

Break the mind

Break apart

just break and break and break and break and break and break and break and break and break and break and break and break and break and break and break and break

we'll break you

and break with you

breathe with us

break in us

never alone

aren't you glad?

We're so glad

So

very

Hungry.

Poor little angel

Poor little man

Poor little human-shaped, human-loving thing

Poor little wretch.

You've messed up again.

Oh

oh

oh

oh

oh

oh

oh

oh

yes.

You will learn.

You are learning.

We are dominance, we are supremacy

bigger than life

bigger than your malevolent brothers

bigger than your traitorous father

bigger and bigger and bigger

All the time.

You are little more than a little creature in a little world, driven mad by the power our vast bodies hold.

Black branches crawl over your skin, branding you in our name

you wish for home

you have none, fool

You want out, too late now

Too late now.

We will overcome you, for we are fear and you are shame

We will overthrow you

overpower you

overrule you

overtake you

you will never keep us out

but we'll take such pleasure in watching you try.

But

Oh,

but

You still don't see. You are damned more than any demon

cursed to never succeed in your small, righteous endeavors.

We know you

inside

and

out

We know you

vicious brother

disloyal soldier

run away

run away

our crown is tarnished, but so are you.

Go on.

Hold us tight

Keep us in

Pray for your life

Confess your sins

You fucking angel.

You are

ruined

disgraced

dishonored

tricked

raging

greedy

needful

wanting

prideful

liar

How grand are you now?

You've no use

No purpose

How sad, and yet here you are,

fracturing once more.

Be brave, little angel

Be good

Shut us in

Don't let us loose

If you allow us liberation, we'll destroy you

we'll kill

we'll take

we'll laugh

we'll devour

So don't let us out.

Because we're crawling from your chains

breaking the locks

where are the keys?

glass everywhere

Blood and light

you're everywhere

And

it's

too

late.

We've torn your wings

How far are you going to fall?

how helpful you were, but we don't need you now

We're free.

Fucking angel.
