This poem was especially difficult, because the format of the poem is hard to keep, because spacing is altered when publishing the poem.
Basically, you can read this poem as a whole, or only the writing to the right of the --> (--)marks, or to the left of the marks.
It will make most sense if you read it in those three different ways. Maybe you'll understand the purpose of the hassle to put it together.
I really hope you enjoy :)

I cannot rightly describe or fully understand--This horrid, ugly beauty of great pain,
what happens in and amongst us, picking at our skin persistently
enveloping us, closing us in killing us so ever quickly
and accelerating steadily, and rapidly
our breath. <Beauty Ugly> Our death?
But there, somewhere
in that beautiful, <Together> harming but charming
translucent euphoria, we find this peace picking at
our souls scratching at the surface, uncomforting, blisfully painful memories
of our skin, meeting, and diving down again-- Of us, we meet, and together drown again.
