Contained in it is death

The warm air brushes my face
like the tiny breath of a baby
seemingly innocent   but so deadly
contained in it is death

My face begins to peel
acid penetrates my flesh
seemingly painful    but i feel no pain
contained in it is death

As my flesh begins to fall
to the ground around my feet
seemingly disgusting    but i feel no disgust
contained in it is death

The muscle and bone begin to show
my face is falling off
seemingly embarrassing     but i am not embarrassed
contained in it is death

Blood begins to drip
making a pool around my feet
seemingly wet    but i feel no moisture
contained in it is death

Wait what is leaving me
is it my life
is it death coming for me
blackness draws near

The acid begins to burn
i begin to feel pain
the piles of flesh around my feet
are now embarrassing me

I am wet
wet with sweat
wet with this nightmare
that never ends

Death is all around me
swelling up the seas
dead bodies
dead bodies
