Anthology

Fang

Mathew Swanner

 

The venom enters my vein
under the iron fisted reign
I just wanted to feel
It ended up being so surreal
lost to the abyss
not knowing
sinking into darkness
oh sweet dreadful bliss
Life’s grip releases
one mind melts out of pieces
drifting in dream
Awake!
Still in the coils of the snake
I try to escape but only shake
lost to the world
another bag unfurled
I was once a son
But now I'm just done.
