Kiyohime

Tearing down your heart

Split wide open

With my claws deep sunken

In your blood

In your heart

I taste your blood

I taste you

Each piece that I tear

Belongs to me

Each cry that you whimper

Belongs to me

That heart and its entire lush

Belongs to me

You filled your soul

with all my might

then threw me away

and let me die

I died so I could live

I live now

So you could die

The horror of me

In your face

Is like thousand births

The trail of red

Fills the empty gut

That was left empty

When you left me

I look at the red

Splattered everywhere

Is it enough

To cover my pain

Is it enough to make me

Me again

Maybe not

But it is enough

To let you die

To let you see death

Coming close to you

Second by second

Cut by cut

Claw by claw

Sob by sob

It is enough to

Quench my thirst

Douse my fire

Soak my burns

But nothing will ever

Make me feel me again
