Straggling off the beaten path

In procession we tread

Deep down within

'low the face of the earth

In the darkest of dims

With weight in the chest

And heart full of sin

As the altar grows closer

My heart writhes and falters

My lung heaves heavy

Thick with despair

I've carried this malice

To this place of ill practice

Let this ritual come to begin

Take the knife

bleed your hand dry

And clutch the stone

'Til your strength goes

Let the lid of your heavy eye

Fall, shut

And dwell of all evil befell

Dwell, dwell…

Let them swell within

This stone 'low hell

how can I wail of the pain of loss

when you were never even mine to lose

In the blink of an eye,

you were mine

Then stripped from my arms

On that day,

You were stolen from me

And only now do I understand

It all began

The day I fell prey

To the witches' lie

I stare at you

from across the bridge

I've burnt to the ground

Now only between us

a river of grief

flowing freely

and when you try to cross

again and yet again

I yearn the currents drag you down

for the depths to stake their claim

And its your hands

That guide this blade to expose

This hollowed chest, wide

With the weight of a dead star

My heart violently implodes

And collapses to its core

you were my blackstone

shimmering, made of dark

alone in the night

shattered by fright

Shivering cold, I carried you

you are my blackstone

that weighs my chest so

as my heart calcifies

and smolders by night

soon it will be black as coal

Branded from birth

A bastard born

from the cunt of

Witch whore

I dream of the day

Whats crawled from your womb

Be the very death of you

Silence will be the only thing

you will ever claim from me again

For every word of your fourteen year

Hexen sonnet

I will leave twice unsaid

I carry this weight around

like a black stone

how could I let you go

when you've carved yourself

Into my chest

you were my Blackstone

shimmering, made of dark

alone in the night

Shattered by fright

Shivering cold I carried you

you are my Blackstone

that weighs my chest so

as my heart calcifies

and smolders by night

soon it will be as black as coal

And I'll hate you 'til the day I fucking die

and then yet even more
