Deathwish



tonight
i will be
a body
without a soul

glassy eyes
will stare
at the torpid
endless night

death's hand
will carry me
rotting flesh
i will be

Only the wind
shall whisper
such stormy life
such desperate pleas

A knot tightens
against my neck
a last taste of air
a last taste of life

Amidst the
night's embrace
only the lingering cold
will give me comfort.
