Overdose

As night blankets these inner skies

As I am enveloped within lies

I close my eyes and reminisce

Before consumed by infectious sties

As acid rains sear my flesh

As I convulse, asphyxiate, and thresh

Eroding into an unrecognizable corpse

To be decomposed, and with the earth, enmesh

I lack the will to ascertain

Verity of what is left to remain

Nameless and deteriorated from all the pain

There lies so much I cannot explain

In elegant fashion, I will destroy you

A conquest in ecstasy

To repeat endlessly so as to

Overdose and lose empathy

Lingering amiss sensibility

Straining to retain my sanity

Longing for a futile possibility

No longer a pragmatic rationality

Pathetic and distraught

Anguished by this thought

Devaluing when I fought

To attain all I sought
