ROT

keep on hurting me and keep on cutting me, make my blood flow like the greatest river, this eternal heart has never seen past winter, for i have embodied all the disease within me, i am the rot, soot, and grain that flows fiercely on the ground, the vermin and pigs feast upon me until nothing here is found may the rats find nourishment in this heart that you have not, may they love the breath i take as i gently tie this knot, may the flies find salvation in the bones within my body, and may the maggots find peace in a brain that once loved somebody even if you won't love me there's plenty of things that will, because ill find my peace 6 below where everything is still, the frost chills and grows up my body once more, i guess its time to turn the key and lock away my door

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
