Crying for Azrael

Will the devil claim my soul before its due?

Crying for Azrael

What is the reason for pain?

To conquer, to grieve, to feel more human?

And all the shame and damage you never asked

Came in blasts.

You think God was cruel,

“Maybe He never acknowledged you?”

And the whispers continue

Remember me for faster sign in

Will the devil claim my soul before its due?

And it dared to carve my skin

And told me it wouldn’t kill.

Then I asked the Almighty, “Is this for real?”

Silence followed

And mountains of doubt started to build.

They continue to haunt me through mirrors,

Through dreams I forgot, leaving the essence of hurt.

Void sunken into my skin,

Causing me to cry out for Azrael.
