requiem.

tonight, i made a pact with the
two-horned creature, with burning thirst,
he then derived a lethal concoction,
a swig of my blood,
with the eternal demise of my soul

he laughed disdainfully at this
meagre capitulation,
celebrated at his victorious feat,
a ravenous urge
to parade his latest victim

his notorious whip tore at my skin
it burned my flesh,
took my life away,
little by little,
i can feel the end rushing through

this torturous chastisement
made me fall on my knees, while
looking through those red-fiery eyes
pleading to take it all back,
obliterate my sworn testimony

i knew he wouldn’t oblige
i couldn’t back out anymore
i was incarcerated, put out
into dying alive,
i know now what this is,


this is hell.
