bitter words and harsh accusations
float mercilessly throughout the air
infiltrating your lungs
with its pungent aroma

you point your finger and scream
yet no words come out
and the world which was once crazy
is now at peace

in slow motion things move all around us
the sound of a train coming our way
but we do not move

and silently
as if all at once
the scenery disappates
I am left alone again

i rot from the inside
each time I open my mouth to speak
maggots swarm out of me
as if flies to a strip of honey

you think that I am whole
and yet all the while ignore the putrid smell
of my insides
caving in with each breath

you say you love me and yet you don't even notice
my slow decay into oblivion
my flesh falling away from my face
as each tear sears down

I miss you already
though you're only emotionally distant
my bones break and fill the void
decomposing into the ground
as you once again
walk
all
over....

is this the end?
is our love silently unfurling
floating away
in hasty reprive
from the war
which has been going on under our roof for years

stab me again lover
your last dagger
was more sensual than it has been all this time

I want to let myself fall
I will be unknown in time
ashes scattered and forgotten
like leaves they will be crushed
with the rise and fall of each boot
and yet I miss you
your memory lingers inside of me
and though I am dead inside
it seems I can never truely escape.

you made me bleed my love for you
and yet you still won't bleed it for me.
