Calling From Eternity
by Mallory Westhoff

Writing
slithering
twisting
curving
ribbons in my mind...
i'm not crazy.

Can u hear it?
They're calling.
Dark satin touches my skin.
Night holds me,
covers me.
i can't see.

i hear them.
i hear them,
calling me.
They're calling my name.
Listen...

...listen.
Footsteps...
are they coming
for me?

Cold wind
rustling dead leaves,
i won't hide.
i won't run.
i won't fear.
Wait...
death...
Quiet agony;
pain of living.

Wounds.
Deep,
deeper...
no one will ever know,
no one will ever see,
no one will ever help,
no one will ever care,
everyone will die.
Not me...

i will live eternities,
Punished...
for sins i didn't commit.
Deserved pain
scars that won't ever
be seen.
Lived ten-thousand lives,
will live ten-thousand more.
Agony.

Punished...
for sins i will commit,
deserved pain.
Split tears
spill onto stained sand.
Catch them...
they've fallen through my hands.
i've seen angels cry.
Can u understand what i've felt?
They've fallen from my hands...

Deserved pain...
sins yet undone.
Split wounds wide
or burn them through.

Don't let them collect,
half-covered...
caught in purgatory.
Split me wide,
burn me through...

...i hear them,
i hear them,
they're calling my name...
