Death Nesting - When The Body Breaks

I am the silence when breath won’t stay, the stillness that carries the pulse away. I am the moment the tether snaps, the end that closes every gap. I don’t choose and I don’t wait, I arrive with hunger, fire, or fate. I come when the body bends too far, when skin splits open, when bones are scarred. I am the fall when the body breaks, the empty hand that nothing takes. I am the end, both soft and fast, the final shadow every life casts. I ride the clot, the fever’s flame, the twisted steel, the flooded plain. I am the moment the light runs out, the hush of truth beneath the shout. I am the fall when the body breaks, the empty hand that nothing takes. I am the end, both soft and fast, the final shadow every life casts. No mercy, no malice, no bargain, no blame. Just the closing of the chapter, when the body can’t remain. I am the fall when the body breaks, the empty hand that nothing takes. I am the end, both soft and fast, the final shadow every life casts. When the body breaks… I am death, consuming all.
