Red.
I see red.
Taste crimson like saltwater
my elixir like wine.
Coating my skin,
a thin coat of paint,
make me, make me
live forever.
This crust under my nails,
the forgotten warmth of it
still writhing, swimming
under your lily-white flesh.
I taste your screams like pill dust,
make me, make me
high.
You're just like the others,
my pretty little doll.
Stacked up inside my walls
drained.
I bathed in your fading life.
Swam through the cells.
Sucked the red sticky goo out of the gashes
I slashed along your sides.
Make me, make me
live forever.
You all die tonight.
