Description
Neck Eater

My memories screech ever louder
As you infest this room of skin
I let you nail my hands to the walls
Lest they close in on both of us

The life was vamped right out of me
You enticed behind stained windows
Until a crack fondled its surface
And I blew the glass shards in your face

The neck eater disgorges stolen flesh
That once complied for the need of love
A woman's tears, a claw finger's beckon
If I could refuse, I would have done so

I thrust myself into denial
Finding you ankle-deep in lonely blood
The praying mantis prays no more
What is it that you worshipped anyway?

Faintly I detect a maiden's hymn
Incanting all my oaths she heeds
But let no joyful voice be heard:
For I am intruded once again

"Infest me no longer!", I command
The preying mantis preyed too oft'
But I dare cry as it shrivels into
Vermin that begs the hand for mercy
