He removed the gloves of callus from his hands
Unsheathing his blood-soaked, skeletal fans
No longer a man
No longer alive
He became something nature could never contrive
He peeled back his face with a grin like a ghoul
He wound out his guts like a thread from a spool
He couldn't feel pain
He couldn't feel sadness
The only thing in him was raw, raving madness
He slid back his scalp like a silky red hull
As if shelling a walnut, cracked open his skull
He took out his brain -
It was no longer wanted
His memories twisted, tormented and haunted
He plucked out his eyes and cast them to the wind
He cleaved out his heart, then he tore off his skin
For him, it was only
A fine change of fashion
For him, there was never a touch of compassion
And, now he reaps vengeance on all humankind
Flaying the flesh from their bodies like rind
He doesn't feel sorrow
He has no regret
For, there's hate in his bones that they cannot forget
