The need to breathe

Agony runs in livid
Cursing the need to breathe

If only darkness flew on wings of haste
If only life died sooner

Oh, how tempting is the notion of freedom
Watch agony operate the switchoard of your superconscious
Transforming dreams into nightmares

But breath,
Bane of torture
Muse of frivolity
Dare you tempt anguish?
Heart
beat
Heart
beat

The body angers the underworld in functionality
Survival wages war against insanity while
Shakespeare's two pilgrims keep life alive
Breath through the nostrils as diamonds to the ground
