a token given to a world lost in decay,
a love replaced by a hateful word,
sin upon the breath,
storm in the air,
softly systematic,
violently bathed in red,
we given,
yet it was taken,
a road relived within words written,
tasked to be loathed,
uncomfortable,
medicated,
sedate,
we remove the soil,
and plant a tree,
surrounded by designer drugs,
that separate the me,
from the me…
