I will come unexpected through the sickness through the viral I will come to wipe out the night An abortion of our secret has become the spiral wing in the hand of menace I will be through the glimpse I’ll turn your body and make it swear again, then we’ll dance on your parade in the end I will come to you through a veil no one sees Oh mother can’t you see the horror? Your child is gasping on a rim out loud, these words not spoken in a filth of poison stings Now here it is in my hand like victims, as we lay down in the name of remedy we all grow apart it seems And when time comes hold on skin cast away the scars and all we lay down on our feet to the mirror mask we worship * The path was rough and old last remains far, away from home For on this night you stand still as I speak your name no more
Your poem expresses so much raw emotion and descriptive imagery. 💓
