Die & Live Again

 

The wrong decisions, never portending existence, the pain you give; a town filled with laughter, a man crawling, the dung smells sweet; running backwards, fueled for losing, to have won a privilege.

           

A soul feeling sadness, ignoring the obvious, with one neither love nor hate, neither kiss nor poison, so infectious, as it wavers from light to darkness, upon a whisper.
