Poisoned, pulled under the weight of regret,leaden, drowning acrid admonishmentlungs filling with murk-ish sanguine blood soaked sin.Poisoned, pulled under the weight of regret. Leaden, drowning acrid admonishmentfighting back again, swimming to surfacegulping rotten air in swirling torment.Leaden, drowning acrid admonishment.
