Cursed Flesh

Curse this limited body! Oh that I could spread my wings
and fly far away from this wretched place...
Through sepia dreams and tattered seams I've roamed.
Obsidian eyes and darkest disguise
masquerading as though to touch the realm of the unforgiven.
Oh, this cursed flesh! That I may smite myself under the agony
of this unforgiving tribulation.
May these words be profound and twisted in their own
so that my fate may be as such.
Oh unchain these captive limbs and hearts
and let me free of this opression.
Let me lie in the deepest midnight, in the deepest solace.
Oh, to perish in her dark embrace!
As I lie frozen, I remember you, my love.
And forever on my spirit will sing for you.
Though my flesh must say goodbye, my soul is there beside you.
Farewell, lovers and friends.
I remain true to you all, even in this end.
