affliction of the dead

shattered

the fragments of my life lay scattered

engulfed beneath the shadows of my forever. i am broken

decrepit. lay this rose upon my tombstone

i shall not live by your lies

only from the moisture of my rotting carcass shall i blossom

mind controlled by hopeless affection

this affliction;

affliction of the dead

as my lungs are slowly crushed

shattered

the fragments of my life lay scattered

engulfed beneath the shadows of my forever. i am broken

decrepit. as i sink beneath the shadows i find peace beneath the grave

and finally now

i can blossom
