When you're tired, if you're quiet.

That fox ran his heart out to that I swear, and by the moon I promise.

"But why the moon?"
"Why any star in the night's sky?"

I interject with a foul curse and ask her why she follows my hollowed path, or why she calls me her friend.
"I am a devil you hear!? A damned beast! You should kill me quickly or I will rip you apart woman, fore I am a machine! This android takes life after life, quenching my thirst on the innocent."
She then questions why only the innocent, and I respond with,
"They taste like the sweet candy I indulged on when I was young. Hah! When I was young."

I leave her that night in a city alley way. The concrete stained with fresh crimson. Suspect me you fragile humans. Your flesh is what I desire and I promise you it's nothing more. I will infect your brain and then end your worldly pain. If you see me walking your way you should avert your eyes and forget all about my embracing smile. I'll take what I want whether it be robbery or a gift. I say fear the night. I say fear the day. I am every where these days. I am your love. I am your friend. I am your mom. I am your dad. I feed on what I see fit, the last few weeks were like a a nightmare I must forget.

"I do not exist."
"I do not exist."
"Only you exist."

We end the night with a faint harp and a flute to carry us on our rotten way. I start again about my promise to the moon, and this time I can end my speech without interruption. We will burn, oh! We will burn! We will burn poor and lonely.

"Torches together, hand in hand."
