Living Death
A living death
My sentence
Breath wasted
On this soul
Dead
Laying breathless
In a shallow grave
Yet breathing
The days go by
Skin rotting
Fat maggots
Feasting
In a silent graveyard
Of existence
Shadows dance
In the dead of night
Why?

Brilliant and haunting evocation of depression, and effortlessly constructed.

very very well done. the imagery is wonderful. my favorite lines are:
"In a silent graveyard
Of existence
Shadows dance
In the dead of night"
"In a silent graveyard

Nice use of imagery overall, think maybe you should have continued with it? Seems unfinished.
