You can breathe if you want.
The fog’s already swirling inside your lungs,
the blood's clotting thick within.
Oh, don’t tremble, love,
it only makes your blood taste sweeter.
That’s how I find you,
your veins pulsing like a plea.
That’s how I feed,
sipping the warmth from your wound.

I walk through darkness laced in sin,
trails of gore turned to mist.
London rain runs with the crimson
down my grin.
Your eyes say run, your pulse says stay,
arteries raw and torn.
You don’t know which side I play,
heart beats still leaking warm.
You think I’m mercy in a velvet coat,
soft as peeled flesh.
But I’m the blade you never wrote,
slicing through your chest.

Patience, darling, one more beat,
feel the steel kiss your heat.
I cut your veins that bleed with sin
as it seeps down my chin.
I love the way your fear sounds sweet,
ribs splintering beneath.
Close your eyes and count to ten,
guts spilling then.
When you open them I’m there again,
kidney slick inside my grip.

Chorus
Run, run, they think they can run,
legs buckling mid-stride.
Bleed, bleed, the show’s just begun,
run undone, entrails wide.
Come close, come closer, love, and learn,
liver bursting in turn.
Love, love, learn, learn,
watch your world burn.
I kiss the red, I lap the gore,
tongue on the arterial core.
Sing, sing, scream, scream,
call my name through the pain.
I dangle mercy like a ring, ring, ring,
heart torn from its string.
You fall, you fall,
and I take everything.

Oh, you’re still here?
You like this, don’t you?
Every little shiver, that’s mine to carve in red.
Oh no! Don’t look away now.
Aww, it's too late! The skin flayed away!

Chorus
Run, run, they think they can run,
bones fracturing one by one.
Bleed, bleed, the show’s just begun,
run undone, viscera overrun.
Come close, come closer, love, and learn,
lungs punctured in your turn.
Love, love, learn, learn,
watch your world burn.
I kiss the red, I feast on the gore,
jaws on your femoral pour.
Sing, sing, scream, scream,
call my name through the gore.
I dangle mercy like a ring, ring, ring,
skull split wide, offering.
You fall, you fall,
and I take everything, organs stacked in offering.

The night keeps my secrets,
drenched in the slaughter's slick.
The body hums my name,
echoing the wetter drip.
When the mist rolls in again,
laced with bits of you.
You’ll remember the smile
before you scream.

Smile Before you Scream

I love playing with words, finding new ways to put them together to express what I feel. I hope my poems encourage others to share their feelings openly and honestly. My aim is to paint pictures with words, making them sing in a way that touches everyone's heart and mind. Through my poetry, I want to create moments that everyone can see themselves in, exploring emotions and thoughts that connect us all.
