Broken

The darkness is suffocating.
It’s all I can breathe.
It’s all I am.
It’s who I am.

My white is fading.
Black crawling through.
Eating me.
Tearing me.
Ripping, biting. Devouring.

Light exists at the opposite end of the tunnel.
Dimmed as it is.
I know it’s there.
I faintly feel its warmth.
But I’m becoming cold.

My features are distorting.
Skin peeling from bone.
Lungs infected, heart exposed.
Kill it.
Kill it.

I’m broken.
Down on the ground, I bleed my rotten blood.
It seeps out of every pore.
I’m fading.
Kill it. Murder it.
Free me.
