Avenging Demon Lass

Black venom

noxious

thick

slithers through these veins

feeding upon

darkness

bleak thoughts

suicidal

pain fed

screech

horror

grip the bars

wrought iron

of this cage

howling

lines scored into skin

as you sing

once loose 

better run

cause I will come

hunting 

for you

for those who baited me

used me

sucked dry

heart

soul

husk 

on the side of the road

soft crooning

rocking

forth

back

madness

fired in your eyes

sanity

finger tip away

single touch

avenger

protector

huntress in the night

blood red lust

blinded dreams

gutted in the alley

left to bleed out.
