This feeling of subsequent deterioration
eating away at my already chewed soul
Lingering denials
she reassures my hopelessness
chiseling under my skin
to feast upon my afflicted blood
Fevering
and flooding
I must keep going
on and on, forever purging
waiting for
this worm to
swallow this sediment
this never ending decadence

Why won't this day ever grow old?

My wound has been reopened now
and I'm choking, and you're  
frizzling me down
Severing
be cautious now
Down beneath my soil
I have swallowed my pride to feed me
And you are the precursor that needs me

You seem to be choking now
I just want to admire your frown
are you in a hurry my dear?
Your lurking now
leaking tears
your shadow is jaded now
your frown is shading down
and this hawk is ravenous
so silent now

My eyes are burning, filled with sweat
and I'm swallowing
my regret
to surge forward in a spiral
rapidly ignoring
my desolate tedium
I tried to warn you
but your movements swallowed me whole

I can not go around you
I must get inside of you
Break you down and abolish you
to continue this eternal cycle
that follows, veiled by me

..

too many good lines for me to thank you for...
I enjoyed your word play, Ben

A freshly ploughed field of creative energy. Very good.
