Blood is thicker

Blood is Thicker

Let go of me
I need to be free
Need to evolve
You dissolve me into pulp

Blood is thicker than water
Like oil spilling
Spoiling wildlife on a beach

Blood, thicker than water
Entwining me like brambles
Scratch naked flesh
Piercing like
A barbed wire mesh

Stench of blood
Lingers on my fingers
Now matter how much I scrub

Thicker than water
My soul quashed
With every stroke of its cosh

Blood, thicker than water
Like brine for pickling dead flesh
Freshly fished from the sea

Please, please
Let go of me
