Your voice no longer echoes
Through these veins, your name
has become a cancerous toxin
Creeping serious visions of a rotting past
Soon to be covered in ice.
I must destroy this delirium
Before it reminds me of a younger time
When I wasn't laced with disease
But it's always been inside of me.
You took every last strand of that life
And wrapped it around my neck
Telling me it would be okay
But we all know actions
Scream louder than empty words.
Can you hear me now?
I won't hear you.
