Isolation, darkness, and rotting flesh, Surrounds me, suffocates me, But I am the vile ruler who controls it all.
I long for warmth, Yet, all that I touch, Is cold.
Then, she stumbles in to my domain, Lost and frightened, Alone and confused.
And I terrify her even more.
She calls me the devil, So I show her pleasure, Like only the devil can.
I am the heat that stirs her flesh, The longing that trembles her bone.
She begs her body to refuse, To escape my embrace, But I am her master, The puppeteer of passion. I am the King of Flesh and Bone.
Welcome to my court, little one.
