Weep
In the grim afterglow
As all that you know
Comes crashing down
In apoplexy
Weep for suffering
For absence
For failure
Confront mortality
Behold your mourning
We are all conditioned to despair
We falter as each thought forms
And I am bound to drown in burden
Where I'm frozen - absent
Dredge these woes from my soul
Seek, devour
Destroy distrust
Because we have grown so false
Infested
Harrowed
Stitch and suture
These gaping sores
Withering
Putrefaction
Swallows all sorrow
Lament this pale life
Of ill reprisal
