Deep asleep my heart stops beating,
why am I here this is a mistake.
Lost in darkness my skin is freezing,
I fell asleep but did I wake.
I do remember a porcelain plate,
I held a cup I ate and drank,
Hemlock soup with a Death Cap steak,
Oleander tea and a Ricin cake.
Poisonous dreams betrayal and scheming,
was it dinner that sealed my fate?
Looking down I am not breathing,
I feel no sorrow if it ends today.
I see her face but she's not speaking
as I drift into the dark decay

Dark clouds crackle and shutter,
a celestial throne splits the sky.
Man cowers from the churning vortex,
a monstrosity covered in a million eyes.
Wheels spinning around a golden altar,
crushing bone, crumbling stone.
A symbol of justice begets a reckoning,
eagle, ox, lion, man
prostrate before the ethereal King.

Are you feeling sad are you depressed and lonely?
Do you know you are not the only one alone,
as your blood flows down the drain.

You live your life, the only life you are given,
I understand this aching pain you are feeling.
You are not alone as you face the darkening day,
I am here to stay.

Look in the mirror at the blade you are holding,
and what you chose as your goodbye clothing.
Does the throbbing make the pain go away,
as you float away.

Down the drain, you will bleed
I will chase down your memories.

Are you feeling sad are you depressed and lonely?
Do you know you are not the only one alone,
as your blood flows down the drain.

I've got a broken heart
that will never be the same I promise you.
Every night I see you in my dreams.
A piece of me is gone
it fell down to oblivion.
I don't know if I'll make it alone,
alone.

Composed society a system complex rotten and deformed.
Unfettered anger frustration and anguish festering the storm.
Putrid blisters of vile memories, sobriety castrates the scorn.
Impostor hypocrites who pose as friends devour each victim's form.
Again, again I plunge my pen this cauldron of memories mourned.
Unspoken I vent forthright enigmatic in dreams I am reborn.
Unbroken, unbent, unwavering, dramatic,
I drag along the garden thorn.

Incremental institution embedded brain damage,
pulsating vibrations bare feet underground.
Plant trees under sky, cover dirt with bandage,
rain falls interlocking, read loop play twice.
Incidental retribution, invested gain vantage,
human binary freedom inconclusive, denied.
Structure belief genome disadvantage,
artificial omni-sentient intelligent life.
The truth you seek is out there
but first you all must die.

Observe a masterpiece the lonely relic
foreshadowing judgment eclipsed despair.
Hanging disappointed, art held ransom,
childish tantrum freely shared.
Refrain, restrain, what some condemn,
reluctance alleviates anxiety gained.
A musical symphony, poetic warfare,
so let me gently remind you, friend;
Even at last gasping breath
I am fiercely lethal with my creative pen.
