Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Eyes shut... Rising above this plane Release my fleshy coil I see you Wearing my face as a mask Beckoning me forwards holding me down Sinking... You cut off my wings Tear a hole in my heart Escaping in my darkness Rip up the wound let the fetid air breathe No more... Spiralling through the big come down Spinning ever faster To what end?
