Corrosion

Eating away

Dementia

Slow decay

Fade to black

The world around

Die alone

Without a sound

Fingers grip

The waiting rope

Clutching nothing

But empty hope

Rotting away

Death is waiting

All forms of life

Disintegrating

Corrosion, corrosion of life

Corrosion, corrosion of life

Obvious and numb

There’s nothing left

Collapsing structure

Constructing death
