Deteriorating

Crumbling skin and swollen eyes
Make me carry the darkest lies
The walls i built to feel no pain
Were now starting to suffocate 
Every mirror shows a different side
I wonder if i ever was right 
Getting confused between death and life
Deterioration had taken quite a time
Everything in me wanted to let go
But Maybe pain still had its love to show
As i smiled crumbling with broken needles
My breath no longer asked for air
And there came an end
To each inch of the space i had.
