"Hollowed, Be Thy Name"

By XCryingMinotaurX

Broken
arching back
see the spine shaking,
pressure
upon shoulders
the world comes crumbling.

Fading
well-spoken words
lost time well spent,
memories
upon fingertips
slipping out of reach.

Meaningful
she was
twice through summer's heat,
meaningless
she is
withered with gasoline stench.

Losing
sexual grip
this one-sided battle,
groping
bleeding hands
tainted pale soft skin.

Cruel
sadistic movement
wet by tormented eyes,
taste
burning flesh
feeling hips and bones.

Nightmares
she has
darkening sugar sweet sin,
question
she asks
followed by secret shadows.

Answer
it will
caressing cracked red lips,
whisper
it has
"Hollowed, be thy name."

And furthermore, I do believe "The Lord's Prayer" came a long time before Iron Maiden.

wonderful title...and the line itself, of course: the final stanza is especially excellent. (although the third stanza gives it a fair run for its money!!) great work. purr
