i feel rotten
flesh falling from bone
blood stained cotton
i hate to be alone

why did you leave me here?
my eyes don't work anymore
my body choked by fear
my eyelids sore

i can't move
will someone help me?
always something to prove
what can i be?

my skin is crawling
bugs squirm beneath
much time spent bawling
rotting jaw, pulling from my teeth

my heart and brain
vital parts
mold flows through every vein
my breath departs

i sink into the earth
returning to the dark
what i've wished for since my birth
how i yearned for a spark

what went wrong?
relief found in a knife
i knew it all along
this if life
