Frost
Crystalled skin
Blue fingers rigid
Eyes ever forward.
Pathetic sight
Rotting
Mask trailing
In tendrils of flesh
An occasional flash
Of the residual deformity.
Breathe.
Stretch.
Crawl forward.
Sand and grit
Crushed into the cracks
Chafed
Dragged slowly along
Stinking clumps of decay
Falling away from your fingertips
When you dare to brush the hair from my face
Voice laced with formaldehyde.
How long has it been?
Fragile bones
Newborn
Tasting air for the first time.
Dust-kissed innards
Draped around your neck
Connection.
Lips
Disgust
Fangs drawn
Claws sheathed - No need.
Crayon smile
Keyboard laughter
Drunken stupor.
The creak of rusted minds
Gears and bone
Struggling against time
for the first
Time
for the last
Time.
Rot makes the water warm,
Did you know?
Used to the smell
Sunwarmed
Steaming
Precious blots of ink
Drawn a broken smile
Still dripping
Black beads gathered on your chin.
Dive, but the warmth only goes so deep.
Do you know what lies beneath your feet?

A wave of sorrow was washed upon me
As my heart was broken in to
And the only question I ask
Is where did you put the coffee

I know this is tacky but, I'm offering Commissions! [link]
I mean, I could really imagine it, and the expression in the words was lovely ^w^ but something was just the littlest bit off about the writing.

Though I can't guarantee I'll agree with you; writing style in poems is something that varies on opinion.

This part especially, I liked a lot. I can almost imagine it in song form.
