I am weary
My bones grow brittle
Any moment now
The wind will shatter me
'Til I am but windswept ashes
I die and I am breathed in
Into the hollow caverns of life
Beneath unzipped skin
And parted veins
Sink into flesh and live
As nothing
I am no longer mortal
In this I am cursed
Into eternal dissolution
I am an enigma unseen
Lodged deep into depthless crevices
Of blood and cell and life
Disappear into the coarse skin
Of unending chasms
Topple over the edge of the cliff
Into the ocean of oblivion
I have lost myself
To a war I started
With sticks and stones
And whiplike tongues
Stab myself in the stomach
Tear myself open with claws
Of hate and distorted truths
Wrap my palms around my heart
And end this.
End it all.
End me.
