Transparent membranes

Stretched across skeletal limbs

Ghosts that haunt me

Apparitions of emotions that used to be

Used to live within me

Clawing at my skin, at the very heart of me

Razor-like talons sinking

Delving in

Teeth that are like daggers, ripping

Stripping the flesh away

Exposing marshmallow soft tissue

Rivulets of dark red fluid flowing

Streaming from every pore

Hungrily they feast

Making me remember

That which has been gone for so long

The stitches that had once held my eyes shut

Torn away, making me see

Seeing the necromancer on the hill

The one who'd conjured these demons

His arms held out to me

One by one, they enter me

Each one assuming a new form

Bat wings becoming feathered

Tenderly they begin to quiet

Still and close to death I lie

The necromancer kneels near me

And places his hands within my head

"Oh god, what are you doing to me?"

I'm mind fucking you

Deeper and deeper still

Slipping inside of me

Until he wears me like a bloody new coat

Enveloped and swallowed up by me

My eyes wide open I now see

My heart open I now feel

The necromancer within me, is my lover

That which I had thought dead

Now alive and well

Metamorphasis is never easy

In the mirror I see the eyes of a sinner

I see the heart of a saint

Battered and beaten I wander into the night

To find another soul to save
