Unearth from the muck and the darkness
Straining with white eyes to see
Everything that is breathing amongst thee
Cold he shivers from the sudden stillness

With body so frail
Broken collapsing into the position he knew so well
Wishing he could remember the smell
Of life under the ground

Breath is short and lifeless
Until it deepens at times passes on
Skin beautifully tainted
From that which radiates from his soul

His words are soft and fluid
As they caress the person gently
Leaving a chokehold
In which the person desires to be

He comes to you in passing
And you look him straight in the eye
And yet you see nothing moving
But forever he has changed your life
