To Die...
-Mridara
like a growing flame
insanity burns deep
gnawing at your breast
eating your stale heart
leaving you devoid
and you sit in lonely corners
plucking out the nerves on your wrists with bleeding fingers
trying hard to remove the dead rot that has become one with you
but you will die slowly
as the mold spreads deep into your nostrils
and your voice falls along with the songs that were never sung

good poem
ReplyDeletethe feeling behind
is understood
when one senses terribly
ones own body
as a prisoner
feels the prison wall?
Really strong poem. Is the painting also your work?
