Mortal Stain

I am a mortal stain

I am sick and tired

I am twisted and vain

No one comes to my aid

Because no one wants to save scum

One cures a disease

Doesn’t let it fester

And the same applies to me

Put it down, kill it, lock it far away

I don’t care what you do with it

Just get rid of it

Pestilence, they call me

I boil my platelets until I clot no more

Viral is what I am, toxic

They have trained you not to get too close

If you draw near, you might start to understand

The difference of my nature

And the cruelty of the ignorant

Stay with me

Here

In this dampened room of beds

In this handpressed robe of white

Staring at legions of goose-feather pillows

Searching for an exit through the walls with our heads

Laughing at the irony of existing

And if we choose to die

Promise me

Promise me when we rip out each others’ throats out with our teeth

That we will die together

Conjoined by our pooling blood

And in our moment of death

Our legend of bittersweet release

Perhaps they’ll begin to understand

Why we are who we are

And how glorious it truly is

To free one’s self

From humanity

And live as a monster

Married to Mother Chaos

Indebted to Father Death

Admired by Brother Sadism

Enthralled by Sister Insanity

Die with me, my love

Reign supreme among the dead

My king of corpses
