Echo

A contorted spine stacked tall with brittle vertebrae twisted and bent where will refuses to break

Lost souls claw at a moment of breath beneath cold skin

Fighting to escape the suffering that surrounds an orphaned heart

No one can hear the screams that echo against the ribs of a hallowed body

Drink now from the cup of life and fill the vacant cavity that held pure light

Until you choke and gasp on silenced words that lost their wings

Pray to the fallen angels and mourn false hope

This life was never worth dying for
