Immortality

One-way ticket to gallows

Revile the gift


Castles crumble soft

Premise built on salt and sand

Hang mine noose now swift


Hatred untoward

Beauty whose light shines endless

Can you forgive me?


Breathing ragged, now

Aimlessly habituating

Fighting siren calls


Avarice, endless

Can only bring that which wounds

Cursed to never die


Hands on the trigger

Fuse lit by machinations

Sulfur burns the sky


A hovel, a hole

My only shelter from pain

That is inside me
