A Ritual of Pills and Misery

Slow torpor of bleached days
Fast forward rotting to oblivion
Bloodless hands scrape the sky
Dark clouds under parchment skin

A ritual of pills and misery
Lysergic contamination
Under a burden of depression
Deservedly mine

Ghosts whisper behind thin walls
Wounds of no glory but shame
With broken back I crawl,
A pathetic moth towards the flame

Awake and asleep in a shallow grave
Serenity in chemical meditation

Then break my spine
Drain the colour from my eyes
Where am I falling once again
As light dies and the flood rises
