"woundlicker"

dead skin sundering
shed it like a bird

my veins precipitate
tracing creeks down my wrist

seeing red, yet I laugh and seek more
living in the metalliĀ­c scent

it pleads for mercy
but something's got to give

I won't stop
until I am tattooed with failures

let the blood wade around my arm
droplets like skimming fishes

if no one will avenge those who I've hurt,
I'll do it myself; I'll show me

tell everyone you know what I am
while I gush and drown one room over


I'm new to SpaceHey, so please have mercy on me.
