Unwelcome claimant drawn to the flame
Of a burning sanctum engorged in ash
The acrid fumes obscuring sight
Obstructing speech, incensed occlusion
The perception of slight discharges, cold corrosion
Tracing caustic passage underneath the flesh
In the veiny pathways, spread throughout the limbs
A numbing excretion sapping thought
Intrusive presence
Unencumbered by reason or respect
It can’t be soothed
Nor placated
Unbidden guest drawn through the gateway
Of exposed nerve, an open portal
A door unhinged by soured expectations
Harsh resentment constricts the chest
The perception of slight discharges, cold corrosion
Tracing caustic passage underneath the flesh
In the veiny pathways, spread throughout the limbs
A numbing excretion sapping thought
Intrusive presence
Unencumbered by reason or respect
It can’t be soothed
Nor placated
It can’t be soothed
Nor placated
It can’t be soothed
Nor placated
It can’t be soothed
Nor placated
Will I never be rid of you?
Will I never be rid of you?
Festering wound, the open gateway
Fractal nerve, total occlusion
