Everything Becomes Still

Life becomes a standstill

I have swallowed death, like a pill

This soul of mine has turned black

My nervous system succumbs to the attack

Everything is turning the deepest shade of red now

I couldn't stop the infection, I just couldn't find a way how

The once pumping heart inside me is dead

But I can hear your heartbeat thumping in my head

My veins pulse with a greedy temptation

To consume you, to feel your blood put in the sensation

I didn't ever want to hurt you

But this thirst just keep bleeding through

Run away from me please

Run away from me and my disgusting disease

This new me is somewhat horrid

I don't remember how and when it all got started

You can't kill me with that gun

Just let me die in front of the sun

It's better you never tell anyone what you saw

Just pretend I never was, pretend I was never anything at all

Posted by Sad Sara 2008-03-05 21:23:54 One gulp or tow? What yer got goin' on here? A still pill? Dramatic sorrow yer can't ever swallow, it keeps coming back up because it seeks warmth and light found outside of life. Not in yer blackened soul, that's where yer are suppose to store life's apathetic views. Let 'em rot I tell yer. hehe Let's see, sad, rhythm, rhyme: Check, check, check... Very well, yer appear to be in order here, rhyme on Sorrowful One, but not still. 'Anna + Report this comment
