Array ( [sid] => 147911 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Of Death I Must Abide . . . Ben [time] => 2009-02-11 12:45:01 [hometext] => We see a corps in sweet repose, then who amongst us? really knows . . . [bodytext] =>


Perhaps it was the loss of control in those last moments,

as though i was being taken over by some thing i knew

nothing of, how i struggled but to no avail, it was only to

apparent, there wasn't any thing i could do, oh merciful

christ, could this be what an animal must go through

while lying there as a predator is eating them alive, bite

by bite, tear by tear, slowly being ingested by a creature

determined to sattisfy it's veracious appitite, as the prey

simply has no choice but to accept the inevitible, i could

feel myself careening in and out of consciousnes, while

barely making out the distorted images looming over me,

in my hospital enviroment, that steril domain of morbid

inflictions where we come and go, most unwillingly, to say

the least . . .





So

this is what it comes to

minus the desire,

my weakening breath

imparts my death

time now

to

expire.



To

leave behind

such animation

ending my domain,

infested with anticipation

of impending

pain.



Lying here

amidst this realm

that threshold of deaths

door,

inside i shout

and squirm about soon to be

no

more.



What the hell is going on

tell me i am wrong,

lying here in brutal fear

knowing all

along.



That my life

would come to this

dispite how i objected,

enbalmed alive in deaths abyss

'twas not to be suspected.



My screams they fall

on deaf ears

while still alive inside,

asphyxiating in my blood

of pure formaldehyde.



Oh the insult of it all

let alone the pain,

deeper into death i fall

riddled with distain.



Ghastly

are the ways of death

ones life they do deprive,

so

what's another carcus?

to be eaten up

alive.



So

this is what it comes to

of death i must abide,

lying lifeless on this slab

though still alive,

inside.



Ben
