Entombed
I have sealed my own fate
Entombed myself here
to a life chained with you.
Inside these cold stone walls
I live a life
more consigned to death
in the icy fire of hell.
The vengeance rises like
black smoke from the furnace
of my intestines as I watch
your greed and selfishness
feed it's childish appetite.
Meanwhile my own bloodlust
grows stronger everyday.
My contempt for you continues
to increase beyond measure.
My contempt for myself
is comparable and the fury
that I feel
belongs as much to me as you.
