Cancerous Composure

It's description is corruption.
A continuous rape of pride and health
that nests within your walls of life.
Eats your body, drinks your blood,
Satan’s imitation of the crucifixion.
A candle of white set upon by dripping tar,
snuffed the flame and floating on it's breath.
Invading death. . .that rubs against the ivory bone.
Spectrums collapse and leave behind the somber shades
that rub with time, as faith decays.
As flesh constricts, draws closer to it's source,
Skeletal exposure.
Cancerous composure.
