skin peeled veggie style
pain occupies the lonely soul
lust bullying sense and sensibility
fairies dance on abandoned graves
wolves dine on ancestors mercilessly.
feed the starving parasite
maling life and love only a mockery
past and present comingling dangerously
helpless to stop the incessent collapse
drifting in a sea of mundane
floating on stagnant complacency
sinking into the sterling silver of regret
days rush pass
anger dissipated into shame
stress coiled tightly
waiting to strike
each sip increasing the tension
