corpse in my arms

By edenscancer

hold a candle to, all the distance in between
the shattered parts of you
light the night toward the way to say
that the body has forgotten how to breathe
get in touch with the hell inside
just so i can sing it long enough to write
all the horror written on my heart
screaming through my lips
tearing me apart
