Cruel self-berating agony
Bitter, suffocating stench of flesh
Acrid smoke, thick and rancid
Smolders off parched skin
Wretched slime of sin
For gentle breath of innocence
Life-giving absolution
The consequence too dear
Breached in unfathomable darkness
Strewn about, battered remains
Bleeding, blackened husk
Incinerated, fallen one
Lifeless now shall lie
Suffer silent in the stillness
Yet screams shriek though the veins
Erupting through a heaving chest
Clawing for escape
Punctures, glitters madness
One eye frozen, blind
The other ruptured, angry red
A shell of what once was
Hope, vanquished, but not the fear
Remaining, the ever-dread
Death song chants for remembering
Only cold may take thee now
In a list
Please tell me what you think

This vivid imagery blows my mind. A very profound write, indeed! <3

i like it. it seems like someone trapped in their own body wanting to break free.

I like the imagery and the tone of despair. This seems ot be a miserable end to an already miserable life. I'll have to read it again to make sure I undestand.
