Eat my soul
Spread it out
Take control
Wearing down
With every lie
Dragging knees
Elbow callus
Dusty wrinkles
Sweaty anguish
Sticky drying tears
A fight for survival
Of sane mind
Lasting too many years
Delirious entirely
Folding the last pages
A brief angry breath
Twenty years in a simple gulp
Swallowed whole by darkness
Emptied into doubt
Spiraling to nothing
