When did it abrupt?

I thought I felt it convalesce, or so I thought?

When did the edge of reason become a literal expression of blood?

I swear it not, but curse my soul to drown within its self.

Madness, my dear, I shed a regard.

Tears alone lack emotion, or would you rather float?

Upon the vessel I create, splurge the raw of your meandering.

Emote.

Or else, I am spent needlessly on empty.

So, might I suggest another anecdote for your arousing consumption?

I do not dare it my words.

Smile instead, drink the devil’s liquor.

Let your veins run gold, until barren desires overcome.

Replace the blood spilt long ago with a new-found God.

Madness, I beg of you, stupor.

And once the head has fallen off its axis, check your pulse.

Breathe in certainty, while I hinge upon a final thought.

Dissonance.

When did I abrupt?
