Frail - jagged with dead lust

Rhapsodized - falsehood within grasp

Demise - a tartarus in disguise

His dreams - all but stigmatized

Like a body without soul

And a sacrifice of faith

The desire to be flesh

Yet forced to abdicate

Pain

Relinquished body

Shelter - to a restless mind

Subsistence - to grind your own decline

You were staring, route in hand

Though required to probe the truth

Nowhere near a fleshless decay

Your relinquished body of youth

Pain

Relinquished body

Like a body without soul

And a sacrifice of faith

The desire to be flesh

Yet forced to abdicate

Pain

Relinquished body
