Uninhabitable

Termites infested the infrastructure of my bones,
And my body became a house instead of a home.
The rotting wood reflects the frame of my fallen parts,
Chipped tiles, shattered mirrors and broken hearts.
A fractured back, characterised by my lack of spine,
Microscopic pests were chewing on my mind.
My brainstem decayed and my body was condemned,
Forced to watch the demolition I didn't wish to attend.
My cells have died out and I will soon die in this cell,
Forever caged up in this inhospitable hell.
