• I awoke to the scent of death
    Stifling, Encompassing
    Blood flowing from open wounds
    Proliferating, Diverging
    Tainted innocence, Transcendence lost
    Denouement, Oblivion
    A decimation of purity, essence
    Cataclysmic, Vindictive
    Torn apart
    Devastated, Shattered

    Not a tear
    Lachrymose, Deleterious
    From these eyes
    Desolate, Despondent
    Not a word
    Perplexed, Voiceless
    From these lips
    Silenced, Forsaken

    For who would weep
    At their loss of life?
    Who would speak
    At their own funeral?
