the infection


as silence broke in tears
echoing the wails of sorrow
the blazing sky overwhelmed by fears
is looking forward to no tomorrow
and my thoughts - sunken in the blue beneath
breathe

I slit my wrists open again
released the demon from its den
no more whispers no more shrieks
a final free fall from faith's cliff
and I walk this pier to loneliness
away from the mirage of boats fishing for my dreams
with every step recollecting less and less
far from the whirlpool of all those petty deeds
until I'm with nothing left 
except

that glimpse on the mouldy pages of a trifling life
planned to be glowing with pleasure and pride
a home filled with laughter 
and a happy ever after
all but forlorn hopes
of a corpse 

I slit my wrists open today
watched your light fade away
wither along with the smiles 
awaiting demise
and I turn around dragging them corroded shackles
remnants of a futile war melody
trapped in a circle bleeding out merciless miracles
loathsome infection - incurable malady
goddamn ramblings in a tormented mind of a stray
in decay

where does it end
the howling of the siren
in my head?
where does it end
the wheeze of death
filled with dread?
where does it end
the vanity of many a friend 
as things get bad?
where does it end?
does it end?
or am I doomed to be a ghastly ghoul
walking among these spiteful souls?

...

I slit my wrists open once again
screaming thy name - gone insane
mother, take my blood and let it fall
paint them red end them all
