without a trace

You were staring at fractures in the wall
Inventing ways to disappear
To be spared from the pain of failure

You have only delayed your eventual demise
Written on your fucking face
Fleeting bliss will precede your fall from grace

A name that no one cares to speak

Trace these words
In shades of sorrow

In power line hiss
Your purity lives on
Tangled up and graceless
Barely fucking breathing

Grafting skin from the unblemished
Stretching it over your starving body

You will vanish
Without a trace
Without a trace

Tangled up and graceless
Barely fucking breathing
