Conjoined

Long for obliteration
Born from a lack of hope
That sunken eyed reflection
The darkest afterglow

Nailed to it for a lifetime
I’ll sever, this time
Recoil from the death blow
And pain a thousand fold
We are conjoined

At five AM, compulsion
With no place left to go
The piercing cries of guilty
The only song you know

And will you stand before me?
Demanding sacrifice?
Which protocols to sever
If I’m to save my life?

Should I be afraid?
If I go down, you’re going down with me
This ends tonight
