Trigger warning: spooky poetry ahead, blood-related
Recently I crave blood
To be smothered in it
I see myself
Smiling
Dripping red all down my face
In my eyes
Through my nose
In my mouth
Through my teeth
It looks like relief
I want to sink into it
A bath of thick, red relief
Hold my breath underneath
It’s warm and i’m smiling
Sinking in my teeth
They wrap me with strings
They pull
And bind me
It rubs, tears,
Burns, and drags me
In a constant getaway
Always running
The farthest way
Sometimes I get far
Steering clear
A dark cloud looming
In the distance creeping
Darkest times when it reaches me
