Bad Seed

I fell into a well
Down in the depths 
of hell
And in the fiery flames
I etched a thousand names
Of all who'd let me bleed
Mummy's poisoned little seed
Was scraping, scraping
Battered body baking
Etching, etching 
Hellfire fetching
Every little name
For every little shame
Will be screaming, bleeding
The darkness in me feeding
Needing, conceding 
A symphony of pleading
Such music we shall make
When in your mind I rake
U-n-p-i-c-k-i-n-g 
Vein & sinew
Of everything within you
Of flesh you shall be shorn
And in my grasp reborn!
My mausoleum is waiting
Waiting, anticipating …

Sleep well & deep my dear
For tonight 
I shall be near…😁

Your absolutely right, John. Really should stop watching horror movies! Especially when there's enough true life horror going on in the world 😪

Dark and disturbing, Stephen. Just what you were trying for I suspect.

Ooer...something of the Gothic Revival in these brutal lines. A very small caveat - isn't "firey" in fact "fiery"? 😏.
