blood journey
my heart is in my head,
bleeding black, seeping
through sockets of dead flowers
that bloomed when I first saw you.

golden visions cascaded
over slumped shoulders, as you
pouted in my general direction.
something stabbed me that day.

my bloodied shirt dried crisp,
removed to bare my chest.
but after so much loss,
how could I see you undress?

not a man anymore, foolish
I wept to the night alone, as you
drifted from room to dark room,
stabbing every victim, dead.

Yet somehow, I lived on to retell
how a scarred woman stole life
from a meager soul, received blood
but not the flesh of an observer.

You're just a ghost of a woman who
I could devour now in one bite.
So small and withered in my sight,
as I start to glow and shine.

For all the pain, from all the years,
I grew strong, could not be killed.
You're ashen and nearing a mantel urn.
I avert my eyes as your body burns.

Listening to Chris Cornell, mainly.
