Rotting Corpse

By Dragonpoet

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Crawling at my face, Peeling layer by layer, Exposing my soul, my heart, Can't you see the filth, The torment, the seeds of despair, The rotting corpse I am? Face to face to me, Staring at the face of evil, The soldier of despair, Can't you see the evil, The sins, the seeds of destruction, The rotting corpse I am? Whispering to me, Believing in the mask, Hiding my soul, my heart, Can't you see the lies, The illusions, the seeds of contempt, The rotting corpse I am? Been living so long, Behind the mask, the facade, Hiding all I am, trapping myself, Can't you see the filth, The sorrow, the seeds of despair, The rotting corpse I am?
