Blossoming Decay

death! Wandering along this path the flowers bloom around my ankles with every step they rip from their roots reincarnate into shards adding another slice of flesh disabling the will to live disemboweling a decaying conscientiousness dropping out from the normal cycles of life the rivers of thought halted staring in the mirror tragically different aggression stalks into a once untouched spine this trail dwells among me stuck in the sea of blood the emotion has been ripped beaten to a pulp this sense of regret stabs at my abdomen a tension has become too much layer these flowers in memorial dropping out from the normal cycles of life the rivers of thought halted staring in the mirror tragically different aggression stalks into a once untouched spine the chapters won't end yet the pages turn time taken for granted as the hourglass goes empty

Breaking into pieces hearing the screams Anxiety burdens the piercing pitches Frequencies stabing and pulling at heart strings siding into unlit nervousness Shivering aching heat of the argument does not warm But only freezes away All love lost Nothing gained A plastic passion grows like a tumor in the cell connections as a reason to live is lost Endless, suffering, breathing, again The mood regulator grows slowly entombed Behind the thoughts of slit wrists, grateful disses, and loneliness Yet to feel the endless dawn Yet to feel the warmth of the end Predicted to come And only now creeping All love lost Nothing gained A plastic passion grows like a tumor on these cell connections as a reason to live is lost this crypt of lies consuming Porcelain innocence Lain to ruins Faithful to insolent Endless suffering, breathing, again this crypt of lies consuming

An anguishing feeling of nostalgia lingers from this creeping moment Laying in a tomb turns into flames The crawlspace is musky but is more comforting than the living room Buried into a pillow I never want to leave Claiming the anxiety rest in the heights above the floorboard Slapped across the face with the reality of what's to become of us Bust my head against the wall It was my only battle A sense of agony A portrait of depression Painting the blood against this landscape of a house we call home The summer is coming but will always have the aggression of winter Burns cement deeper into the skin Scarring an unlaced mind The pipe cinders, wasting away The only reason to live is to feel numb I can't hear you Mumbling thoughts, never to understand Damned to waste away like you A testament to a broken hope

The flower bed is growing old Replant and repress It burns away the old scars Only to welcome in the new ones Christened in hopes of purity To rip away the security The hopeless shell passes away But leaves no hope for the newest day Dwelling Reality Aching Existence The soil drapes over welcoming eyes To shield these new visions What was once seen to be beautiful Is now dead, decaying, and gutted wondering what happened As no reasons are brought forth Pulled from its roots for our funeral Intertwined as this cycle rots Dwelling Reality Aching Existence

I can sense the end is near Creeping slowly up my spine The realization trickles down my throat And implants itself inside Tension wraps itself around my neck Asphyxiated by the truth The emptiness consumes Hostile end to this hallow life

Disappearance of thought Brittle bright and shade Epidermal existence Ripped through and right Patient dragging scars Glass breaks shining Only thought lonely brought Presence declines and stops You bleed, you kill You rip, you cry Runaway, never today You shed, you drag You break, you die Abandon without thought Closing doors, leaking drops Waterfall of the cracks Standing in front, to watch endlessly The slow and painful escape It burns, and burns, it never ends Time throws itself out Wasting a life, driven to die It takes time to do nothing You bleed, you kill You rip, you cry Runaway, never today You shed, you drag You break, you die Abandon without thought

Conditioned for the concrete An icy slab of ruptured grails It grows colder everynight Marinated in sliced animality Raised with a sense of duplicity The needles pierce harder Layer the street with flesh The slices grow thinner with every cut Jaded to the knowledge of the flames I live to be fucking burnt I dig into myself to find an answer But it's already dead I only love what I cannot have And only kill the ones I love Pray for orchids May they be planted when the slices cease Left to be alone For one more night in the cold

Sinking stomachs, repulsed memory Grow miles up veins Creep like vines into the soul Entangled, unable to detach Twist and rot, to the beat of life With the failed attempt to adjust Thrown away, growing today The suffering can no longer stop It bleeds blue Dwelling in the color of fingertips Shouting silent As the agony firmly hits the wall The greying skies become earthbound Stuck in the dirt below me Cascading the walls Surrounding the landscape Dimming time approaches Ripping lungs rupture The stomach sinks deeper As the knife protrudes quicker The nightmare still lingers within a thread Woven into a barren mind Seeds of your insanity, impregnated my words Years pass, yet the clay still molds

Lacerations layer skin Just to see what pours out This window opens But the water melts inside Bellowing in this pain Ripping into my stomach I only live to see myself bleed The only rush I can understand The hollow lung is finally filled Interconnected Driven into a pulse Never to escape Locked into this coffin of lies The spikes led into a corroding consciousness Eyes removed I see nothing less the world Projection of blurred thoughts Manifested in flowing falsity The air is running thin Submerged in a body of self-inflicted misery The hollow lung is finally filled Interconnected Driven into a pulse Unable to escape From the frame residing In my mind Bonded bridge of fallen delusion Crashed into ceaseless dreams Canals of eternal seclusion Fogged vision through red streams An end to my insanity My final plea of duplicity Casted flowers to the sea From people who never knew me
