Languish

Salted worth Drowning in opposition Recollection to the years of yore Illuminated by a gilded sun So undeniably visible Knee deep in the tears I've wept One with this broken crest Stripped of autonomy Left to bear what is left This longing ache still persists Numb my gnawing mind Welted strikes of grief Liberated by shame Mesmerized by this inverted state Awaken my failed passion The rot left me asunder Rid me of this filth that plagues me Knee deep in the tears I've wept One with this broken crest Stripped of autonomy Left to bear what is left Shed the weight Shed the weight Yet the marks remain (Marks remain) Analytical sound of reason Snuff this embered vision
