Surface

Assemblage 23

Fall

Seize

I am merely debris

Scattered along the ground



False

Rage

A man in a cage

An explosion without a sound



Drawn

In

By the deafening din

Crumbling into dust



Look

Down

Watching me drown

Choking on my disgust



And when I surface again

I will not breathe the same air as you

And once my enemies are slain

My lungs will drink the liquid sky



Sink

Sleep

Drawing me deep

Pulling me underneath



Push

Strain

For the distant terrain

Struggling just to breath



Freeze

Fold

A story untold

A disaster that could have been



A precursor perhaps

To the cruelest collapse

A sign that I should have seen



And when I surface again

I will not breathe the same air as you

And once my enemies are slain

My lungs will drink the liquid sky



Burst

Through

The smothering blue

Falling into the sky



Rebirth

For whatever its worth

If only just to defy



Crush

Burn

With little concern

Feasting upon my prey



Tear

Rend

Expediting the end

Of everything in my way



And when I surface again

I will not breathe the same air as you

And once my enemies are slain

My lungs will drink the liquid sky
