Death Wish

You're the cracks in my skin

the blood that I bleed.

You're the carbon dioxide

that I unleash

to stop you

from suffocating me.

 

You're the pounding in my skull,

the cartilage damage in my knees

slowly ripping life from me,

with no mercy

despite my pleas.

 

You're Satan's kiss

-- you're a personal death wish.

You are agony

But you're agony that I miss.

For when a blind man regains sight,

it's nothing short of bittersweet

-- a painless torture technique.
