I am swimming in my coffin, A plush cage of silk and satin. Hollow housing what's gone rotten Cold vacuum of the forgotten. Backfired plan, ran from a quagmire. "Departure" from unquenched desire. A notionless naivetty, Breeds ambitionless apathy. I'm placid, pallid, on the floor, In yearning dreams from days of yore. An idyllic end depicted, To deep rooted pain inflicted. Yet... Curtains' fall is ill-begotten, By memory I am sought in, A cacophony, my casket. No sanity can outlast it.

Mirrored Blackness
I am swimming in my coffin, A plush cage of silk and satin. Hollow housing what's gone rotten Cold vacuum of the forgotten. Backfired plan, ran from a quagmire. "Departure" from unquenched desire. A notionless naivetty, Breeds ambitionless apathy. I'm placid, pallid, on the floor, In yearning dreams from days of yore. An idyllic end depicted, To deep rooted pain inflicted. Yet... Curtains' fall is ill-begotten, By memory I am sought in, A cacophony, my casket. No sanity can outlast it.
