TRUE DEVOTION

idly blazing through the night 

a ravenous road slitting a sore in your soul 

gilded shadows unfold 
gatecrashing you go 

thirst separates you from your heartbeat 
to bear the mark 
to lie and swallow the potion 
here comes the light bright 
it’s a true devotion 

no deliverance 
you’re waylaid 
now you’re the prey
