…An Invocation

ablaze<br/> we are<br/> for our sins<br/> a flame<br/> we delve in<br/> deeper<br/> their cackles<br/> their screams<br/> echo<br/> under hells feet<br/> <br/> we wear our sins like bolts in our heads<br/> burnt from the bottom of scolding hands<br/> drink the milk of tired glands<br/> sucking us dry<br/> like succubi<br/> <br/> a shame<br/> we die for our sins<br/> a flame<br/> we’ll burn in<br/> we pray<br/> for those<br/> who can’t scream<br/> the angels<br/> all laugh<br/> <br/> sinking<br/> drowning<br/> i have defiled me
