Mem
"Indifference" Heed the deafening litanies of my plague that dwells inside Answer me with a distorted lament, spit on my vain insistence I still wait for your deluge of knives lave and drown my maladies Fire, rain down and fill my lungs with such an addictive agony All I'm suffering, just to watch your wings and feathers storm my heavens Look down on me once again and deny my existence Goad me to be on my knees, fire rain down and bury away my repentance An aureole crowned dove will never hear my orison Zion is you, and it's a myth for a bleeding heretic such as me Answer my cursed prayers with your name, where my every verse begins

Indifference
Suddenly it's pitching deep down Burying beneath the callous hide Like a virus of needles, feeble yet fast Crawling in and out the blank eyes Contagious, spreading and tearing The skin that withers, bones that rust And out dawns a disease A lone, blooming flower amidst Mountainous piles of rotting carnage With it rises the grieving crimson sun Petals and leaves in a sea of cadavers So it grows, and roots try to reach The far edges of the horizon From a frivolous seedling of sickness Now scintillates the devoid plain It starts drawing euphoric breaths Out of the breeze of reeking pain The sky pulls from it a tall willow like Standing spirited in all the awe But it's blindness, and its blindness Brought it ingrained to feigned soil Bearing fruits of sordid star clusters Bound digging for a purposeless toil As it tries to grasp firm the fleshy dirt It's as if a swift accretion of dust Blown away by a quiescent zephyr Now it see its own doubtful existence The stench is repulsing from within Fake are its scions of luminescence For not the carcasses are that fester But its own visage where putrid blood Flows and that waters the posy earth So it asks and draws its own surmise From buzzing hordes of flies infesting The dying land like butterflies Is it healing that it truly brings As answers wreak from the blithe lies Maggots surge from wilted blossoms It knows, it’s healing that it brings

The traces you left on the dirt Like a trail of a bleeding snail Your prolonged wails resonate That's laced with a tormented gale Like you're making me find you So I fill up and you let it sink in Let me hold you one last time Let me touch your tattered skin I feel the coldness of your hands And the warmth slowly declining Your weak grasps lose their grips And soon they'll feel nothing I can't tell if it's blood or tears I can't say if it's broken or whole I can't hear all your struggle I can't recognize you at all The wind thinks I'm insane Cursing and laughing at your face As I drag you along the pavement I can see it make a grimace Even with that sutured mouth I hear you whisper and scream Your fading eyes haunt me Even now they're thread rimmed It was a hard decision after all Your voice forced me to choose Not a knife or poison or a bullet But a liter of gasoline and a noose  I won't leave you rotting in a hole What I want is to watch you swing Swaying with the doldrums In a tree from where you're hanging With columns of fire shooting up Burning twigs and black stones A feast for the crows and flies Blistered flesh and charred bones
