My Asylum

By Asylum

Morbid hallways swathed in death,
Smeared with bloodsoaked discontent,
Wrought with cacophonic lament;
This is my asylum.

Eyeless gazes pierce the veil
That separates my mind from Hell.
Though, thin's the shroud that shan't prevail;
This is my asylum.

Lipless, toothless, ear to ear;
These wretched grins sinewed with fear.
Putrefaction rots their sneers;
This is my asylum.

This is where the dead don't die;
This hellion mire's where they abide
With fleshless hands stretched toward the sky;
This is my asylum.

Asphyxiation, let me breathe,
Lest I join these mortuous fiends.
Purge my soul; I shall bequeath
Myself to my asylum.
