The cure for my disease waits patiently
Closely guarded, her light breaks on me
My aim is true, and eyes are wary
The blessed fruit lies just beyond reach
Barred by fire and barb
My breath becomes a blaze
Breathe in her shadow, taste its unmaking wake
This dazzling dark hollows out my chest
Black fury spirals through this brittle architecture
Subdued, the fibers let go their tethered bonds
Breathe in her shadow, taste its unmaking wake
This dazzling dark hollows out my bones
Her absence, now woven into my skin
Has marked me an omen to all
She burns in their veins
And leaves me devoured
As I immerse in clouds of teeth
Her light, in blinding brilliance
Withdraws the air once left to me
