Mechanical Breath

Removed from stasis to oblivion Corrupted body becomes unsustainable Regressive in its fragile consciousness Succumb to sleep Cold and indifferent The body left behind Soul autonomized Dawn the conscious mind And its unwillingness Begin the realization of impermanence And every labored breath, mechanical The body ravaged and cancerous To know you're never waking up from this Incoherent in its final sentiments Revert to adolescent desperation Profound longing for those close to us And to ease the burden of hopelessness Dear father, Take my breath And I'll scream until there's nothing left Just bury me Just bury me Dear father, Take my life Your child has lost the will to fight The will to bleed The way you bled for me
