Possession

I say her name into the mirror

And on the third time she appears

Her eyes like candles in the dark

Her bloody face staring back at me

She pushes out whatever’s left of me

She enters and infests

She makes a home inside my chest

She bleeds with me

She takes control and she won’t leave

Beside myself

Her voice against my teeth

I feel her use my lips to speak

I watch her shadow crawl across my walls

I feel the cold spots and I hear the knocks

And I watch her bloody hands caress

She carves her name into my chest

Haunted with no mercy to reach inside of me

Cast out what resides in me

Never in the sunlight is she tied to me

I feel her presence hiding somewhere dark and deep

She rests her head against my ribs

And waits for me inside the mirror
