I can’t see past the last point of mortal order and underworld dysphoria. Everything is blurry. A white space filled with a black hole as I am left in a chaotic world of darkness and death.

Once, I was an respected alchemist. Now, I’m a curse on an undead wretch. “I’m possess… posses… posssed!” The stupid Bloodletter screams but it comes out like a hacking cough, throaty and sore.
I lay down upon the crisp landscape, my breath cloud visible in the frigid air. I could stay here forever, and be truly happy.
you’re acting so aloof If you didn’t want to be reminded of pain Why did you cause it If you didn’t see the cracks Why did you build up the walls

A special limerick for you both: There once was a set of kooky, annoying twins Who switched places & caused everyone’s head to spin
rejuvenation: Dawn fishing to play hooky Coffee, fresh, warm hug
i rediscovered you like an old favorite song I listened deeply like a first breath after a long swim I dreamed of you over and over like a loop
trapped in a lung that cannot get air I need to tell you about it So many things, I saw too A bee that flew too high I cried when he fell “Icarus myth”
“WHY do you watch those stupid sit-coms?” My tears have no meaning to you, I watch happy families I can't take it anymore
you rewrote me for your trauma dish I feel your vein-popping, hot oil You picked me, a rot garnish Daring to fire off My own secret tomb
I choked and fell off Trees make sure I fall off them Rotten apple, me
she laid waste, like nuclear love does From her lips washed away the pain This mourning brought new life, but I was crazy to hope
