Afterlife

And the rituals began, the
Devil sang, as the candles
emanated their eerie glow.

Forbidden verses echoed,
beastly eyes awaited, to feast
on the blood cursed to flow.

The longing for life had
never been so steep, as my
soul mourned a fatal blow.

My restless heart found
peace in chaos, a dagger
beats in my septum though.
