there is
                          
n o t h i n g
                          
else to lose, my
                          
love; nothing else
                          
to live for die for, or
                          
nothing to lie or speak
                          
the truth for. i reach up
                          
for the sky with my arms
                          
wide open, even if inferno
                          
consumed all of terra, smog
                          
replaced the nebula, zephyrs
                          
into heat and eclipses into hell
                          
i tried to scream out your name,
                          
only to have my tongue blistered
                          
and bled, impotent to even speak
                          
a hushed hiss of my mere salvation.
                          
i am a limp, decrepit, fragile being
                          
for there's so much pain i cannot
                          
anymore endure for the days to
                          
come and i just could not
                          
s p e a k
