A river

Pulses from my veins

The sleepless nights, a sacrifice that I've been forced to make

A sinner

Descend into decay

Grey sky in the afterlife is waiting for me

Stung by defeat

I see the sky is covered with desolated greed

Opress me

In a shot of fire, burning like the holy light that takes me out of denial

Pray for nothing

Cavity of make-believe pretending to be something

Try

Diminished and undone

Decay in the presence of a knife on my tongue

Desperation

Wears its thick sleeves

In the pool of misery

I swim until the stop of my heartbeat

Agony

Falls through me

Under a swarm of texture

The colors seem to fade

Fade

A flesh attached to ground

A shell of a man

The woe in nothing, the beauty in pain

Rotting entombed, near an iron scrape

Purpose found, in meeting my maker, suffering dethroned, and live eternal

Rip me

Out of my skin

End me

Where another one begins
