Hollow.

How long has it been? How long can I last?

My benighted mind yearns for the stars, for God

A ravening hunger for serenity seized me

Was it not the dream then?

To be free,

To be me?

Centuries of existence

Why do I wept as if there never would be tears enough?

This ear-splitting interlude of judgement

Am I a sinner, mother?

Outlasting the light, I wait for you to come home,

To pour such gruesome warmth into my mouth;

To hold me with your sickening touch, hold me until the end is nigh.

Let me breathe.

Let me be your child forevermore.

Please,

Love me. Ruin me.

Like a torrent,

Submerge and immolate all else.
