Near lifeless skin stretched over a prone skeleton.
|
An image branded for all time within my memory. Pursuit began
|
seeking pleasure delivered with a price,
|
though an illusion of instant bliss enticed.
|
Toyed with what immediately only
|
overpowered. Chased the dragon thinking that it would not turn to devour.
|
Steel driven into skin. Contamination forced in.
|
Jaws of death close together. The haze that surges must not win.
|
Wither. Body given to the vortex, awake in a synthetic
|
dream. Time and meaning fades, life drains far faster than it seems.
|
Drawn to the brink by thoughts of invincibility to give
|
into what beckons constantly. Pulled back across the threshold.
|
Loved by the ones who helped bring salvation. The future is
|
in the hands of a once self-made victim. Steel driven into skin.
|
Contamination forced in. Jaws of death close together.
|
The haze that surges must not win. Wither.
