I hurt, I ache, I burn

Eyes.
Haunt me, and seek me out.
Eyes.
One look to slay me.
I want to escape.
Dark nights and wandering gods claim me
Fear, as tangible as your lips when they brand
I will die here
With my open veins.

Take me, in fire and pain
I am ablaze.
You take my grace, and scrape it away
I'll beg for more, and leave traces of my guilt deep in your skin
I fell into your gaze, a sacrificial lamb
As I whispered away, as ashes
I heard your dark laugh.
I was not released.
