Upon the wall I hang
From my wrists the blood falls
Feeding the hungry, monstrous figures below
Some are familiar...
I shake my head, but this is not a dream
I cry out, but I go unheard
I ask "Why?" The feast continues
I drop my head, what does it matter?
A familiar face adds another cut to my wrist, the crimson drug violently rushing out
Their unfamiliar partner tears the other wrist with cannibal bone
Cellular cover hanging from devilish content
They seem so thirsty...
My tears would form a pool, but they drink that too
No sound for pain, as they took my tongue
Clawing at me, they desire more
What won't they take?
So much taking, not enough giving...
A jar of leeches in a greedy world
There's nothing left inside, so leave me alone
Until you figure it out, I'll hide behind the mask
This is a piece that I published on DeviantArt back on Feb 23, 2011 along with other pieces I had written before then. It was a dark and lonely time for me, so I hope that they can resonate with you somehow and bring a sense of unity. Remember that none of us are truly alone.
