My blood is glass
January 8, 2017
My blood is glass.
Scarring as a secret.
Breathe. My oxygen is gasoline.
This is my poison. That I spread.
Smoke singed. Blackened by you.
My blood is glass.
Veins shredded, lifeless.
Cells of ash, toxin creator.
Breathe. My oxygen is gasoline.
I am a virus. I am a disease.
Incurable. Deadly. Sickening.
My blood is glass.
My bones. Unstructured.
Muscles lacking strength.
Breathe. My oxygen is gasoline.
And a brain without intelligence.
A heart that forgets to beat.
My blood is glass.
Breathe. My oxygen is gasoline.
