Work Text:
I fear it though it is my blood,
my bones weigh heavy, as if caught in mud
my heart that flows and beats alone
Shall it never find a steady home
Should I break free, this deep depravity
locked inside my chests cold cavity
my ribs hold me, ivory chains
never let me reach my gains
a deep pit carved on my own
my skin reaches down to reveal my bone
something bright and far too sterile,
yet my limp body feels no peril
a warm and cold, empty feeling
that leaves my false heart reeling
wake me later leave my rest
and take my life, reveal my jest.
