Viral affliction racing in my veins   Bloated heart pumps black clotted blood   Swirling darkness is all I see   Living death sustained through chemotherapy      Supine and shrunken, outshined by disease   As shadows weave athwart my eyes   Grim destiny flails perniciously   Rot away in languished dormancy      As I border into shadow   Supine and shrunken, outshined by disease   As shadows weave athwart my eyes   Grim destiny flails perniciously   Rot away in languished dormancy      Eyes drown in the seas of the past   Forgotten lore of surviving time   Spine on the verge of permanent collapse   Left to die in desolation   Skin contracts with desperation   Eyes gaze fiercely into death   Succumb to the struggle for breath      Dead mouth, dry and cold   Face decayed as cancer unfolds   Sight blurred by contagious flow   The veins inert, livor mortified glow      Intubations and nasal piping squeaks   Gastric spew meets the teeth, frothy flow   Ballistic heart is counting down as pupils peak   Seizure turns into convulsive vertigo      Battle tires out   As cancer eats away   Chronic illness swallows up   Slow release from the bones decay   Mind's a turmoil   Inside a cankered husk   Losing the grip   Transcend into dusk      Supine and shrunken, outshined by disease   As shadows weave athwart my eyes   Grim destiny flails in victory   Rot away in languished dormancy
