    frail fuck, she's noxious and intoxicating
    a lip biting introvert chewing conversation like mental masturbation
    slowly, the image has to set
    I'm throwing up blood in regret

    an etymologist and three cold stones broke my temple
    like charges cutting curses to pieces with reason
    and when I asked why he gave a seasoned reply
    a factored lie, obviously mirror tied
    "one day you'll need me"

    "when you dig up the corpse of your past and find
    black rot and the girl who never got
    close enough to touch, killed mold a mulch with
    fire, burned her up in the wrapping"

    a Russian with perfect lips pointed towards eternity
    an athiest with a crucifix pointed towards obscurity
    she didn't wrap my body with care, I had to self mummify
    burning my body, scrubbing dead skin with lye
    I hope she doesn't turn back when she finds she's bathing a corpse

    chew your lip in plastination, you damned Christ convert
    find god in your blood
    finding fuel in my mailbox is a stamp, reminding me it's certified
    safe to burn my love

    your ghost carcass doesn't deserve eternal rest
    couldn't scrap your dissected pieces together with a litmus test
    but I did find a myth on your coffin
    you weren't a holy priest, you simply liked emblaming doctrine

    the etymologist was right, I need eternity to prove this life
    and my plundered pyramid and sinking statue
    act as carbon dating, proof of age

    "I'm throwing up blood in regret" good line, visual, brutal.
    "a Russian with perfect lips pointed towards eternity" haha curious...
    "she didn't wrap my body with care, I had to self mummify" love that!

    Neat piece..some very, very cool imagery and I liked the way you were focused on the theme.

    your first stanza is killer...very clear voice, grabs and holds on...the first two lines are "wish i wrote that" lines...

    the intensity is amazing, powerful feelings...your words really drive your anger...

    excellent piece, sorry i didnt stumble on it sooner...
