Corroded body.
Slowly soiling mind.
Unquiet, unsound and going blind.

Brain cells die.
Thought patterns slow.
Darkening eyes stare into the void.

The declination of a mind slowly dying.
Trapped inside a body overcome by disease.
Limbs fall to the ground as the eyes lose their sight.
Emptied of faith, devoid of peace.

Hate for this condition of blissless pain.
Dull colours have become all the same.
As they blend into shadow and doubt.
Dying within and dying without.
Rotting within and rotting without.
All senses blur into shadow and doubt.

Illness first met with resistance.
Resistance diminished to weakened despair.
Despair ushered in slow defeat.
Defeat beckons fevers and pains.

Frantic panic and despair.
A tightening throat gasping for air.
Slow suffocation.
A steady increase of pain.
Fever-stricken, bed-ridden and writhing in pain.
Drifting away.
Drained of warmth, drained of focus, just drifting away.
Desperately clawing but still drifting away.
As the mind decays.

Light.
Pulse.
Endless rot.
Corruption of flesh.
Cognitive disintegration.

Losing its grip upon the body.
This brain so desperate to regain its own.
Once in control, now powerless and cold.
As it feels its skin shrivelling with mould.

Mould.

Pain comes from nowhere, rending in waves.
Tearing and searing, ripping and boring.
Paralysis greets entropy, entropy beckons the grave.
Senseless pulsing of pain, hits again and again.

And again.
No means by which to defend.
Accept this suffering.
Endure the final state of living.
This life is unforgiving.
The horror will linger even after the body has died.

Now the body is gone.
But the mind clings on.
A self-sustaining will.
Living on even after the host is killed.

Strong enough to survive.
But still weak and barely alive.
Stripped of purpose, an aimless brain.
Continued survival is all it can gain.

A putrefying shell now all but hollow.
Desperation falters to submission.
The body is gone, the mind will follow.
Senseless to continue clinging to life.

No longer clinging to life.

Accepting decay.
