Here is something I’ve sort of started. Take it as you will.
My heart devours everything.
Sometimes it controls me,
paints my world in red haze,
makes me fear a future I should not even ponder.
It drives me to madness,
filling my mouth with words
that escape in sickening upheavals
forcing them between my lips, all over you.
It’s not necessarily the words I regret,
but my manner of expression.
I’ve bound the demon within my chest.
Wrapped in chains, locked tight,
I’ll hold the key and seal the cave
in hope of a time
when you will free my prisoner
and hand in hand
we’ll allow our greedy organs
the chance to ingest everything that we are.
