X The Cough In The Distance

by Sole   May 22, 2006


Who's there?
Who's there?
Leaving footprints on my soul
The cough in the distance
I'm not in control

What's that?
What's that?
Carving knives into my bone
The cough in the distance
Yet, I'm still alone

Why me?
Why me?
The laugh that shatters dreams
The cough in the distance
Break me at the seams

Tear me apart, an innocent foal
Leaving bloody footprints, across my quaking soul

Rip me to shreds, freezing heart of stone
Carving metal knives into my whitened bone

Force me to my knees, listen to my screams
Your sinister laugh, shatters broken dreams

Soon as I reach the point, of ultimate decay
The cough in the distance, slowly fades away . . .

    Pretty clever poem, I liked the repitition in this one. It actually did a good job. Bizarre poem though, but that's most dark poetry for ya. Good stuff.

    Nice. i like how it changes half way through, and the rhyming couplets match the rhyming of the first half...a great touch!
