CANCER
THE PINNACLE OF MY YOUTH WAS THE REMINDER OF MY OMNIOUS DEATH. DO YOU NOT FEEL MY BONES FADING FAST? DO YOU NOT HEAR MY HEART BEAT SLOWING DOWN? DO YOU NOT SEE MY EYES?
ITS DEAD, IT'S DEAD.
THE DEMONS HAVE DIED IN THE CHAOS OF MY DYING VESSEL.
BUT I'M DEAD, I'M DEAD, I'M ALREADY DEAD.
VIOLETS MARR MY EARTHLY SKIN AND BLISTERS HAVE FORMED ON MY PALATTE AT THE STEAMING WORDS THAT ESCAPE MY THROAT. HADES SMILES AT MY GHOULISH LAUGHTER THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN EERIE DIRGE PLAYING THE LAST OF ITS NOTES.
BUT I'M DEAD, I'M DEAD, I'M ALREADY DEAD.
GOLDEN WHEAT STALKS SPILL OUT OF MY CAVERNOUS MOUTH, MY HEAD A LANDMINE. DONT STEP TOO CLOSE IT'LL BLOW YOU TO BITS, TO BITS OF ASH AND ROTTING FLESH. DON'T KISS MY LIPS THEY'RE COLD AND CHAPPED. YOUR WARMTH INNOCENCE IS NOT ENOUGH. YOUR LOVE JUST A FLICKERING LANTERN IS NOT ENOUGH MON CHERIE. FORGIVE ME BABY, I KNOW YOURE ONLY HELPING ME, TRYING TO HELP ME LIVE.
BUT I'M DEAD, I'M DEAD, I'M ALREADY FAR GONE.
I'M COUNTING DOWN THE DAYS TILL THEY TELL ME ITS TIME, TILL THANATOS COMES TO GREET ME ON MY WILTING HOSPITAL SHEETS. WILL MY PAIN SHATTER THE FEAR OF OBLIVION? WILL THE LAST OF MY SOUL ADMIT DEFEAT? THE STARDUST IN MY VEINS CAN'T TAKE AWAY THE PAIN ANYMORE. OH MORPHEUS HAVE MERCY.
BUT I'M DEAD, I'M DEAD, ITS ALREADY BEEN WRITTEN.
a/n : got inspired by ToP's cover of Cancer, originally by My Chemical Romance. but this poem is a mess bc my life's a mess atm.
