Burning permanent 

-----------------------------

Disgusted I shrivel 

Shrinking out of my skin 

I seep into the ground 

waiting to take root in the broken cracks

My body twists 

broken bones lay open 

Splayed across the pavement

My skin marks like chalk 

Flowing from the open wounds

My blood paints 

Like char my body marks 

Leaving dark pigments across the concrete 

Never allowing for darkness to erase me

I burn permanent.
