NECROTHORPIC
I have long lived with the dead inside me,
Parasites slowly eating me away
Until I am but a dried husk
Left to hang in the trees.
With a flash like the sight of a god,
I can hear their cries
Longing again for a life,
Shocks me like a lightning rod.
It leaves me cold and necrothropic,
Able to be dead as I am
Still alive and suffering.
Show me mercy and throw
Me to the pits.
Parasites slowly eating me away
Until I am but a dried husk
Left to hang in the trees.
With a flash like the sight of a god,
I can hear their cries
Longing again for a life,
Shocks me like a lightning rod.
It leaves me cold and necrothropic,
Able to be dead as I am
Still alive and suffering.
Show me mercy and throw
Me to the pits.
