Dance of the dead

I drowned my soul
From giving hands
That offered me
An endless cup

And laughed
While I swam recklessly
Sinking deep
Beneath what’s up

Turned upside down
I found my feet
My head throbbing
Swollen with blood

And comatose
I lost my breath
And dreamed a nightmare
In the flood

Out of my mind
I lost myself
And lent myself
To be abused

By carcasses
Most beautiful
Who lured with lust
This fool confused

And when the morning
Cut my eyes
Revealing what I left
To waste

I gathered
What was left of me
Ashamed to still need
One more taste
