Dead everywhere

shadowbones

Dead everywhere

Gray lifeless

Eternal sleep

Betraying lies

Hiding eyes

Behind who

Egocentric self

Rightful selfish

People rushing

Inevitable death

 

You saw me how you wanted me at first and now it's all fucked up. Crawling ticking thin little legs shimmering as it bugs along. Sickened little parasitic ghost. You wanted me so bad at first. Now I am less than dirt. Funny how quick our minds shift. 

 

What a waste of time

Falling from the sky

Laughing as we expire

Trending waves conspire 

Still we drown as we go down

Again and again red light ember burning

Through the night we try again

    A raw write of the slow death of a relationship and the feeling it left behind, nicely done

  • sorenbarrett

    This could be taken to be sexual or emotional and the form of a cross in the text seems to indicate death and a sacrifice. Powerful words of rawness here. Nicely done
