“Rags”

And as I wait

Pleading with eternity,

The longing to hear from

The lips of an angel

A promise of death

Fearless yet

Deafening…

The mouth moves

A smile crawls across

And the eyes glimmer

Dully…

Waiting..

And wanting..

…

And silence

Not even a whisper.

…

And with that I crumble

Slowly

And painfully

Decaying in the hands of fate

Tearing my heart

From inside

And hiding it among

Its treasures

Rotting flesh preserved

Piecing together with

The only thin thread left

Of my solemn existence

In darkness..

In silence…

Alone.
