Image for the poem D.O.A

D.O.A

If the colors would fade to black
It would be a simple relief
But they stay within the grey
Overshadowed by utter grief

The line is fractured
Crooked and decaying
I still hold tightly
Even though my rope is fraying

Pushing the limits
Numb to the dreaming
Because I'm D.O.A

When you're dead on arrival
Survival no longer primal
I regret what's unsaid
Echoes among the dead

Maybe I'll see you when
The moon weeps for you instead

The white of the stars sucked inside
A blackened hole of black roses
Grinding in teeth of pure sin
Where my body decomposes

Fall to the abyss
Demons instigating
And I must listen
Whispering, advocating

Pushing the limits
Numb to the dreaming
Because I'm D.O.A
Breaking the limits
Deaf to the screaming
Because I'm D.O.A

When you're dead on arrival
Survival no longer primal
I regret what's unsaid
Echoes among the dead

Maybe I'll see you when
The moon weeps for you instead

There's nothing
Left to say
Or to do
But let go

Pushing the limits
Numb to the dreaming
Because I'm D.O.A
Breaking the limits
Deaf to the screaming
Because I'm D.O.A

When you're dead on arrival
Survival no longer primal
I regret what's unsaid
Echoes among the dead

Maybe I'll see you when
The moon weeps for you instead
