Obscurity

by Quinlan L Gibson

The path is worn, littered with the torn dress;
Hollow emotion, drowned in the ocean.
Immorality is claiming me, shaming, staining
Apathy wrung from soft tissue black and blue
seeping through bruises on compost flesh
enmesh in sweat; devour this hunger for touch.
Malignant lechery eclipses the light
and all cast in goodness, succumbs to night.

The path may be worn, but you definitely seem capable to getting some fresh material out of it. I love that opening line, by the way.
