Legacy of a Corrupt Mind

Legacy of a corrupt mind

Headstones spread throughout the plane, faded names.
A history I will never explore.
The voices of ghosts speak through
the lines in my palm.

Festering wounds
infect, spread
until my eyes are nothing
but swollen slits.

Heavy is the weight of being,
and my balance wanes.

So, I invoke you
the coldest of Rains,
cleanse me.

Shall I shiver until my teeth
chatter and break,
leaving behind a path of pearls.

My legacy is whispered in your bitter hiss.

Eradicate the fragmented memories
of lives I will never lead,
dreams once filled with meaning.

The ultimate apogee is eternity in a box,
I chatter and break, My legacy.
