Breathing

Every breath I take
Leaves me parched for air
Every hand I touch
Causes skin to tear
Every flame approached
Blinds my eyes
Every word I write
Leaves me drained
I shall feel
Still the blood
That fills my veins
Obliterate my hatred
This flesh enwrapped in pain
Every kiss of yours
Drenches my tongue with poison
Every emotion I feel
Tears a cleft into my heart
Every light in the dark
Fades as I advance
Every day I exist
I don't understand
Earth to flesh, and flesh to earth
Engulfed below this ruptured birth
This longing mind that you denied
A taste of life
This body died
Earth to flesh, and flesh to earth
Engulfed below this ruptured birth
My words subside, this life is spent
Blind I remain, all shall end
