sinner

wallpaper scratched down

bloody nails leave trails

on a ripped beige curtain

ignoring the dusty painting

in the corner of a room

no one will ever enter again

the piano shadows

muffle mouldy books and hidden loves

you suffocate as you walk into

oblivion

you choke on the lies

the vision burns your eyes

there is no beyond

there is nothing

you kneel and you beg for forgiveness

but you’re long gone

beyond redemption

cursed to perdition

the blood you drank

the people you killed

the cities you burned

the monster you became

burning touches

flames against bottles of alcohol

half-smoked cigars

lustful longing

impeccaby white shirts

against wine-stained rugs

wood cracking under your feet

now you can hear the screams

you're nothing beyond a memory, a ghost

I wonder, how come you became

the thing you despised the most?
