I know death. Incensed with all of it. The weighty strain of darkness, Eyes closed, stopped ears, stuffed nose. I was petrified while the world stumbled, My wordless mouth gapes like a maw Needing stitches. I lounge in a toga, Motionless as alabaster. I was born to die, But not like this.

I Was Born to Die
I know death. Incensed with all of it. The weighty strain of darkness, Eyes closed, stopped ears, stuffed nose. I was petrified while the world stumbled, My wordless mouth gapes like a maw Needing stitches. I lounge in a toga, Motionless as alabaster. I was born to die, But not like this.
