Perdition Take Me Home

What's in a name
A name that will
Split open your ears
So that nothing else
Can ever be heard

A cut so deep
In your mind
That anguish and anger
Are the only emotions
That can salve
Such a wound

So much hate
For such a
Once-loved thing
It tears me apart
It breaks me down
It shows me
That I am still alive

And for every
Sip of innocent blood
That I take
The farther that I
Slip into this
Hellish mired fate
The farther my eyes
In their dagger-shaped stare
Seep into this blackened glare
And show me
That I shall never
Be whole again

On how I can hear
The dead ask in
A stone-deaf scream
About what this man
Has done with
Their dearest
Little boy

Call me a victim
Of my own
Arrogant inquisition
But remember
That mirrors
May betray even
Your perfect gaze

With every breath
That I take
With all the death
That I create
I swallow hard
On the rising disgust
And fall deeper into
The persona of those
Who I once
Swore an end

Hell knows
No greater friend
Than I
Perdition come
Take me home

Please god
Let this dream
Fade away
