Corrosion
Can you show me the beauty in acid rain?

Caustic tears endlessly falling
from dark, pitiless skies,
creating deadly pools
for any brave enough to swim.

Help me shuffle onward,
as the moisture eats my skin,
peeling away fragile defenses,
burrowing into a weary spirit
too weak to stave off corruption.

Take my weathered hand
before it deteriorates entirely.
Squeeze exposed muscles,
so I might cherish fleeting warmth
in these chilly bones of mine.

Hold my withered form close,
whisper in dissolving ears,
before the storm washes away
what little fragments remain.

Promise that it wasn't all for nothing.
