It comes in waves
Deep within the spine. Tremors.
Surrounding flesh shivers until hairs stand straight
Like icy water, yet dry as cracked bone,
The sickness blisters the walls of the mind

Rage and fear force entry. Helpless.
Throwing themselves into every tunnel and passage
Hatred possesses the victim, wretches and screams echo,
As the soul cowers silently

The carnage collapses. An ill stillness.
Despair dances on a frozen lake of hope
Desire slowly withers away
Life drained from a vessel, like rain falls from the sky
It comes in waves.
