I once lived

I once felt the breeze on my caramel skin

I once felt the scalding sun on my jet black hair

I once felt the bumps on the ground with my toughened feet

I once felt my eyes light up with joy

I once felt the air, pour in through my throat 

I once felt emotions, overwhelmed with the intensity 

Now I feel the slow rotting of my flesh

Now I feel suffocation clawing at me

Now I feel dread closing my eyes

Now I feel frozen and alone

Now I feel death clogging my throat

Now I feel blood and tears 

Blood and tears

I once lived.
