Bats

by Emma Carnage   Jun 16, 2005


I saw the bats tonight
While walking through the black park
I saw the bats flying
And they called to me
They called to me

I begged them not to
Begged them to leave me just one more night
That's all I need
Just one more night
Let me keep this body
Feel love a bit longer
Just one more night

They kept calling my name
Calling out my true form
I tried to fight them off
Tried to fight
But the calling persisted
And I felt the wings growing
My body was changing back to normal
Back to normal

Feelings were fading
As the calling kept coming
My skin was turning to decay
Skin black and decayed
As I grew to eight feet tall
I could barely feel that love anymore
Barely feel love

Shredded wings grew from my back
The calling kept coming
Anger, hatred, and lust for blood was all I felt
My love was replaced
Lust for blood
That person I loved
That person had blood
And his was the blood spilled that night
For demons have no feelings at all
Have no feelings

The bats got what they wanted
What they wanted was blood
So the calling stopped soon after
Demons carry no feelings
But as I returned to my other form
I saw him lying dead
Lying dead by my hands
No more demons
No more blood
But love forever on

Take my breath from my lungs
While the bats still let me breath
The calling has ended
They're not calling my name
So I pick up the dagger
Pick up the knife
Drive it deep to my heart
While the bats let me have one
No more calling my name
No more ever again

*this was a bit of an experiment for me. i don't really know what i think of it, but i'm oddly proud of it just cuz of how different it is*
