Braced Imagines and Graves

wings and halos were everything

I used to sing those verses and gather glory underneath the light

Now under ash and darkness, I lost everything

Static in the cracked tv, floorboards fill with burned and rotten skin

Small regrets but I had to do it

But why have I ascended? Why hasn't my vision gone away

"Who said you would join paradise so soon?"

That flesh bubbled and moved

Mixing with the nightmares and drugs

That's when I noticed the skeletons I keep in the closet just got bigger

humming figures birth in the shadows

A new age of demonic shenanigans

Their horns glowed and their smiles were sharp

Bodies jagged, long, and vibrating with the darkness

These animals who once lived in my house found a way like I have

Laughing at the ashes and grabbing everything that is left on the floor,

Breaking, rekindling, and ensuring complete annihilation of everything.

I turn the volume of the static, feeling the last of my humanity in me

Leave

The aura of death surrounding me, I reach for the demons by the neck

Held them down as they want to hear my pain

See tears

watch my smile break

But I remembered what I gave up, to have a better life

Dancing on the ground without a care, they overwhelm me

Claiming names, declaring themselves as lords

They look back on what's left of me

I didn't know who they were; we bonded over sins

Yet they knew I was a threat

Because I wouldn't let anyone get in my way.
