Thanatos

Go on you know ya want to

Thanatos

 

Where were you Thanatos when I needed you most

I heard you drowned in adrenaline while celebrating the demise

of your host

?

 

What then became of your presence when I needed you most

They say you’re disfigured and living with ghosts

?

 

Yes that is what happened when you needed me most

Now feel how I choke when I breathe in your dust

.

 

Take this ligature or tourniquet and use as you must

Let us suffocate together as parasite and host

.

'THANATOS (or Thanatus) was the god or daimon of non-violent death. His touch was gentle, likened to that of his twin brother Hypnos (Sleep). "
You made me research today. I liked the use of the god Thanatos. Gave strength and purpose to the words. Thank you fro sharing the excellent poetry.

Hmmmmmm...Thantos...the personification of death? Kind of a dark, bleak look at the world here. Seems you had a brush with death and now you are recovering? Very different. Lydi**
