Exposed
Midnight; that which of death, ever dying –
Daybreak; that which of life, being alive –
Contrasted, different, many contrive –
Of those who have not been poisoned, crying –
Waking, but asleep, mentally drying.
In days of concentration, empty, I’ve;
Thoughts to no avail. Also, midst revive,
Mind, passion, have no power over bleeding.
Cutting away, exposed down to the core –
The Grave comes, The Grave lays open, shattered.
In time, nature refaces – wanting more,
Wounds, gashes, torments – introspected, for
Time and time again – heal, or, so tattered
Break, die fully, to be gone nevermore.
