how can i begin to describe
the swelling
heavy
burden
the vast
blackened
void
the pit that grows
like a vine
thorns wrapping around
the caves of my mind
how can i fathom
this paralyzing parasite
that's eating me away
like frostbite
slowly turning blue
and growing numb
my fleshly heart
now turned to stone
my body weak
and ridden
i have developed amnesia
and i cannot remember
what it is like
to be alive
