float, bubbling unto the surface

evolve, motion untethered is centered within

earth so vile, i am my own pyre

the venom in my tongue

confesses the patterns it holds

with blood and bile, my mission to defile

spitting the curses to mold

a defense for miles

unfounded and unbridled

the womb of ire

blur

coalesce in fear

i've deceived without meaning

the tides of doubt at blame

i've decided an excuse was clear

enthralled

with severance and the premise

that the entrance to the inner vault is sealed

a passage bright

but unknown to the mind

candles show reflection of a flicker

a seething prize

reverie in solace

construed itself into an ego

a kind of victim wrought with self demise
