Romancing the Incomprehensible
Now here I am floating in the vessel
The warmth still here in this body of water
Soon I shall release this flesh
Open the wound that pains me so
It is calling me now
A romance with the darkness
To think I am in control
I was given the master key
The key to me
I shall manipulate the how, the why
Don’t cry
Tears only pool my vision
Slowly I will descend into my shallow breath
Muffling under water distance echoes
I leaving this body now
Blue blood turns to scarlet ribbons
Scarlet ribbons grow like hungry snakes
Soon the vessel bleeds a cardinal’s coat
Pale extremities adrift
Peacefully stagnant
Lifeless in winter’s abyss
