• Watch as my eyes cloud over
    with your farewells.
    When my gaze is paralyzed,
    I’ll stare up at you.
    From the hospital bed,
    to the back of a hearse,
    I remain yours.
    I am your casualty,
    a death from desolation.
    Forsaken...
    Isolation pushed me closer to agony,
    and further from you.
    Your loveless embrace has been my dialysis,
    though your hate pierced me.
    Stay by my side,
    and maybe I’ll heal.
    You laugh and smile,
    but never say you will stay.
    At my funeral,
    would you be the same?
    Or would you be somber and silent?
    You’re so dark,
    but beautiful.
    Isolation pushes me closer to agony,
    and further from you.
    Your loveless embrace is my dialysis,
    though your hate pierces me.
    My broken wings will never be mended.
    Your tortured heart beats in time with mine.
    Press your lips to mine,
    I’ll show you our fears.
    I will demonstrate to you
    the myriad ways in which
    you’re killing me.
    Isolation will push me closer to agony,
    and further from you.
    Your loveless embrace will be my dialysis,
    though your hate will pierce me.
