Oh the sweet dark clashes,
The arrows that rake my soul
Piercing,
Shuttering, my heart

A lumbering breath
away from death
As sunlight cuts my eyes
Beauty fades,
and I am lost

In the hands of death
with crumbled fingers
Darting from the crypt
Of soiled earth

Morbidity, shows,
Pasted to my face
Sunken, cheeks
Once fired like jealous roses
Of a life I cannot keep
