INTO FRESH PERDITION
this Hell
resurfaces
breaking the veneer
of pretty lies
which we have slathered
seeking to disguise
that abiding dark
the true damnation
we are alone
forever alone
we are cast out
eternally alien
none to need
none to care
no contact made
no point of union
all beings bear whips
and cruelly scourge
the broken soul
the fractured spirit
the twisted form
which writhes in pain
they strike, and laugh
again, again, again, again
damn this world
damn this race
I curse your coldness
I spit at your blind eyes
I seek for ways
which bring escape
if by carnage
or by death
no more shall I
stand at your door
whimpering to come in
nor more shall I
believe your pleas
to give things one more chance
for I am banished
and shall forever be your bane
