Regret slithering in
Toxic waste
Sitting on my lungs
Truth corroding convictions
Suffering for my ideals
Stifled screams drowning out
In the aftermath
As vermilion trickles
From the vacant heart.
VERMILION ANGUISH (PART I)
Bathed in vermilion anguish
Hollowing out the delusive notions
From the catacombs of the mind
Ensnared in the quagmire
Of disgruntlement
Pulling an endless string
From the throat.
