The rich smell of fresh blood and he’s savouring it, wanting to taste. But not
yet, not yet, when the delicate figure is struggling and crying so sweetly and
he can still wait.

Salt of the tears and isn’t that beautiful, a pale cheek and a red river on a
broken skin. Sharp claws and the innocence is gone,
gone with the blood and sweat and a twisted mind.

Licking and scratching and thrusting and now hearing it, a scream of agony like
music, a concert of pain. He’s breaking the rhythm, it
is time, and biting, claiming, tearing apart.
