rot
iβve watched you
as you rotted from
the inside out,
your lungs turning
to the ash you breathe,
your heart turning cold
as the bodies left behind you,
your bones become infested
with termites until
you canβt stand
anymore,
your veins, filled
with writhing maggots,
as they
eat you, starting with each
organ, before
eating eachother.
snakes squirm within
your skull, until there
is no brain left, until
you canβt
see
hear
taste
touch
feel.
your eyes eaten by
the things youβve done,
backfiring to show
what you have
become
