happily, you decompose
releasing your woes
even as they drag away your laughter
euphorically, you dissolve
losing your resolve
to live, even as your fears leave you
elatedly, you decay
your skin turns ash-grey
and maggots dig into your flesh
passionately, you molder
your recently-cremated ashes smolder
the flame devoured you with all the ferocity of a lover
joyfully, you disintegrate
forget the cold burn of hate
and misplace the memory of love, too
blissfully, you rot
lose your affinity with thought
your mind a directionless searching
delightedly, you wither
there is no time to dither
no time, full sprint to oblivion
reverently, you splinter
welcome eternal winter
relegate warmth to your fleeing memories
earnestly, you break down
your will is to drown
all your issues are a rising sea
fervently, you fall apart
you thought you were so smart
with death comes release, no?

happily, you decompose
releasing your woes
even as they drag away your laughter
euphorically, you dissolve
losing your resolve
to live, even as your fears leave you
elatedly, you decay
your skin turns ash-grey
and maggots dig into your flesh
passionately, you molder
your recently-cremated ashes smolder
the flame devoured you with all the ferocity of a lover
joyfully, you disintegrate
forget the cold burn of hate
and misplace the memory of love, too
blissfully, you rot
lose your affinity with thought
your mind a directionless searching
delightedly, you wither
there is no time to dither
no time, full sprint to oblivion
reverently, you splinter
welcome eternal winter
relegate warmth to your fleeing memories
earnestly, you break down
your will is to drown
all your issues are a rising sea
fervently, you fall apart
you thought you were so smart
