Undress

You wore my skin
You swallowed my name
You bled my strength
You fed me despair

if living means to lose
then is dying a win?

the lake of tears is overflowing
the crown of villains is tilting
all that energy in motion
marching to its desolate end
snap the heart strings
rend the tired tendons
slow descent into the abyss
running out of air; of a voice

does dressing up a mistake
make it feel like it isn't one?

I neglected a promise
I was inconsiderate in my care
I abandoned what I cherished
I was shameless in my regret
