Toxic Rhythm

beating  
one being
with the toxic rhythm
forever a slave
of the free
forever in the home
that is my grave
 
slapped
reality just slammed
stamped and engraved
tattooed onto me,
into me
 
the toxic rhythm
of the sounds
the percussions
of the songs of pain
the repeating verse
of my heart
the discorded harmony
jarring into me
 
breathe in the fumes of sorrow
feel the impact of the words
that follow the death of love
after one is dropped
into the pit
left with the waste
forever in pain
forever in sync
with the toxic rhythm
beating me further and further
into my grave
