Kisses & Kerosene

I wish I can have you here Alone In my clutches To remove the excuses from your mind To part that haze And slice your soul in pieces To sing You a lullaby As I tie you to the slab To shave your head with a dulling razor As you watch The splattered mirror Above you To break your ribs Individually With a rock hammer To shatter your shin bones With a shovel To burn Your fingers and toes To a necrotic black With liquid nitrogen To crack your teeth With a splintered club To pierce with your limbs With a nail gun To silence your cries To laugh in your eyes To sharpen my favorite slicing device And take your arms at the elbow To keep you alive For a few moments longer To smell your fear To cover your body With kisses and kerosene To watch you burn As my Human sacrifice To hear you scream in agony The popping of your flesh Cracking as it cooks To feel your child smile The one you betrayed The one you took For nothing For selfishness In a perfect world I would get My wish --- Kisses & Kerosene - Otep
