Covered In Blood

*(This is actually a poem I wrote for a story of mine. It's kind of about what the main character feels as the plot unfolds on him. Poor kid. I do some crazy things to this guy. This poem is a lot more literal than you might initially imagine.)*

Hunt for me and kill for me
I’m cursed again as you scream for me
What am I that you want me so?
I refuse to die for you or release my wings
So I’ll never surrender or be crucified
Surrounded by the whip-lash effect of selfishness
Commit suicide to understand my pain
Covered in the blood of angels

I’ll forget again what you did, but not forgive
Separated by a wall of pompous, unholy light
And I think I’ll have to die once I smash you to the ground
I’ll awake again when the Dawnworld needs me
My flesh will sing again when the sky is full with moons
And when my duty’s done again, my soul will start to break
But I won’t be stopped or destroyed
Surrounded by beauty and carelessness
Kill yourselves and be me for a day
Covered in the blood of angels
So come at me
And come for me
Hunt me down and bleed on me
Chase me for eternity
Never be as free as me

Covered in wings made of death and fire
I think I remember how to speak and weep now
After I win this battle I’ll need to die
This is the only way I know how to hide
Woe to you and blessings from above
I hope they rain your actions, the muck, down on you
I’ll be sure to murder you with all of my hatred
My uncontrollable rage at being dead for your sake
This is only the beginning
I’ll stop the world from spinning
But I’ll never give or be sacrificed
Surrounded by fury and desperations
Martyr yourselves and know what it’s like
Covered in the blood of angels
