I peel off the skin of your fear

burying myself into the core of your pain

spreading it with heat of the night

devouring your unease, drinking your discomfort

filling your spine with molten gold [ glittering affection ]

placating your demons with cold iron [ poison for the unseens horrors ]

crushing the heart of your torment

pouring the balm of my inner twilights

into your aching veins

let me admire you

cutting the limbs of your anguish

bleeding it on our mossy altars

in our temples, deep in the abysmal green
