somewhere there's a scream

sickly yellow light

on sickly yellow walls

look in the mirror

and see a sick scared child

in my eyes

then pulling clawing wrenching biting

and the child is a monster

in an icteric room

and somewhere there's a scream


brown ring in the bathtub

breath breath breath

brown handle in my hand

silver glints

and smiles

the monster cringes whines

then jumps forward eager

with a single shining claw

and somewhere there's a scream


red pleasure

crimson pain

breath held in then released

with every terrible beautiful line

shaking hands and cold air

goosebumps shiver and guilt stares

but the monster pushes it away

with a grinning chilling howl

and somewhere there's a scream
