crown of thorns

same called it a halo

but I knew it to be

my crown of thorns

it lies upon my mane of demons

and my mane, ratted and tangled,

struggles to pull free from my crown

the thorns cut through my skin

the blood seeps within

my soul escapes

through the holes of my skull

and what am I left with?

the flesh and blood

of a corpse

bound to die
