My rib cage bruised over time, It cannot endure any longer. One bone after another, Breaking- Rougher and rougher. Enormous feet, Stomping my heart, A giant tearing it apart. Lungs such as mine, The Reaper finds them Divine. Breakfast of charcoal, Supper of cigars, My veins- Dipped in the blackest of tars. Lonely, I seem to be, But unlike most of you, At least, I am free.
