Blossom

A slow erosion of skin A relentless crashing Lifeblood pulses dimly, poison takes hold Partial sighted grasping Stifled gasps through the dirt and the shit Necrotic tissue flakes away A twisted blossom falls Degradation every day On fractured limbs i crawl Soft rain upon lips is just a dream Parched, cracked and raw Scabbed eyelids, misted pools Sealed under the crust of hate Necrotic tissue flakes away A twisted blossom falls Degradation every day On fractured limbs i crawl Relentless parasitic infection The endless patter of tiny claws across my tongue But I smile, I invited them in, welcoming Dismantled, piece by piece, deconstructed, but I smile I invited this Necrotic tissue flakes away A twisted blossom falls Degradation every day On fractured limbs i crawl So I smile as the blossom falls And the black dawn breaks The taste of ashes in my mouth And I know that everything is wrong
