I have swallowed the product to be me
and survive on my new found treason

Trickle down
this mountains frown
Dampen this old moss
to fill this crevice
Forge across
these shallow waters
to decant these delusions
and cleanse my decadence

I'm too weak and too fake
too immersed to lie
too bleak and too feeble to care
too weary and too dreary to share
any more tears

Sweeping overcasts

My shadow corroded
Shackled to this lightning
I'm feeling kind of bored again
waiting for this storm to end
Silence pounding
I'm engaged in this
severing, shattering, cracking
fill this chasm, and let me free

This is insteresting, firstly because the form gives the impression of an object falling out of control and the words give an impression of impending doom. Good job.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
