toxic

24 2 0
                                    

the smell of dying breath
and distant cure
the sound of pleading prayers
and hopeful muses

the future is so far away
the present is ruined–
no excuses

a number of eyes
looking at your way
whispering the same mantra
over and over again

'please save them
from death
taking over,
please let them live
a little longer.'

in this place
the pungent smell
of toxic breath
and rusty blood

but oh,
we are all the same–
praying life would be
a little kinder.

for in this toxic place
we met,
with same goals
and same whispers–
'to live a little longer.'
