My Cozy Hell


Cuddled up and burning With the stories I won't tell, I find comfort in my scars While I rest broken by myself.

I breathe my cigarettes Lit by that cancer-giving peace Of such a friendly ash like death Brings pleasant nightmares to my sleep.

Withering in this ecstasy Of loneliness and pain, I caress my silent torture In the husk of loves remains.

I hold tight my regret And savor every screaming cell Found lost inside my faithless temple: My cozy, cozy hell.
