oh, the gentle ticking as the blood pounded through the
veins that wrapped around my head, it suffocated,
the disease that i used, that i used to bump &tear &rip away
the rancid flesh i tapped and swung,
&i called, i called out, i called out but the ringing
the ringing, it was louder than my ears could handle,
that burst the scarlett tears and trickled into my eyes, from the pounding,
i gasped at last, at last, release.
