It swirls inside me
As I breathe in the light and breathe out the darkness
The light that slowly kills me
But it lets me
Breathe
For now
It masks the pain
Numbs me to my bones
Let's me live in the moment
Even though it kills me
Over time
But it lets me
Breathe
For now
Why is it that
To mask the darkness
I have to let
The toxins
In
I have to
let it kill me slowly
So that I don't die now
This dark romance
Everlasting
Can't live without it
But
Can't live with it
It kills me
To be
Here
In this moment
Perpetually
Knowing that the thing keeping me alive
Is destroying me
But it lets me
Breathe
For now
