This monster looks nothing like me
Yet it smiles from the mirror
With obsidian eyes that reflect nothing
And acid scars that torture the mind
Razors cut into me with bloody grins
And alabaster seeps into my wounds
These corrosive tears eat at my soul
But I see underneath this savage veneer
Into the beauty, the darkness left behind
A hunter deep within, heart tied
With chains of insanity
An animal stares back at me
Fangs of decadence protruding
My goddess tries to tame me
Claws of agony-Ecstasy ripping
Within
Staining my frosted roses
With feral crimson
This savage garden
That houses my feral soul
Stripped of all humanity
I walk on thorns of glass
And let the fires in her eyes
Slowly burn me alive
But someday
I will be free
Neptune's daughter and her
Dark waves
Soothe my jagged wounds
Her icy arms hold me tight
And let the world pass
Into peaceful oblivion
But this animal must
Break free
Lightning erupts
And the moon hangs low
It's skin tinted red
With torture
The glass shatters
And the beast is captured
Only to rage forth
For an eternity of tomorrows...

But I see underneath this savage veneer
Into the beauty, the darkness left behind
A hunter deep within, heart tied
With chains of insanity
