out of medicine

Ash McPeek

My heart feels like a pulpy mess
Capillaries exploded, arteries clogged with darkness
Blood with too much pressure
My eyeballs erode with the sun
My skin slicks off my skeleton
My organs spill on top of each other
My thoughts are only to breathe and be
No more, no more
I'm less
