Descent

Decay within the rotten trees
As complex as my damned journey
In shame I breathe, I-vomit-my- soul to forgive me
Breath, I breath,
What have I become, where have I been …(inside)
I have begun my journey that is undone
For I have become the one with the purity

I tried to save thee, instead I pillage to condemn you
Remorse, it pains me, for I have destroyed you
Thorns grow from my skin, the nectar of pain
I drown in my own puss
For the promises I could no keep
Breath, I breath

What have I become
Where have I been inside
Denying the loss, the loss of evidence
Proclamation of death
And the guilt that follows
