Blood-stained Vomit

Blood-stained Vomit

A Poem by TheScreamingSadist
"

I'm not sure whether this is about my boyfriend or my father. Either way, this was a very emotional time for me (and still is).

"
I am hollow,
a moon-dried skin
seeking refuge in the back of your mind
and finding shelter
among the seamless guilt that consumes you
in pieces,
like a thousand angry butterflies,
making a feast of your tainted flesh
and playing your intestine like a meat harp
(which clashes with the soundless screams
of children raped by your voice)
It all overflows as a river of white noise,
plaguing your innards
with turgid apocalypse
until the butterflies have nothing left to feed on

but my timid emotions
that had once been your draft,
and now lay idly on your bottom lip
because you couldn't hold them down.
And I still have heart-shaped bruises
left by your fist on my (otherwise infallible) canvas
when I cowered in fear and embarrassment
at your drunken rage,
only you were drunk on my proclivity to flinch
at the ghost of my father in your face.

A din of crimson bone shatters the air,
followed by my crackling shell,
blank as your bleeding visage
that lies mangled in a puddle of skin and sound
with remnants of a sharp-toothed grin
(your soul is my vessel
and I will drink deep).

Interesting fact: Unlike with most of my other poetry, I tried not to thesaurus rape this piece.

This is ALSO amazing.
I love your style & am quite sure that I'm going to have to start stalking your writing because it has a vulgar essence which I thoroughly enjoy.
I can't wait to read more!
