Look across and see the dark
The art of disappearing
Unspoken words and emotions
Too sunken for resurfacing
Into the night it creeps
Becoming harder to endure
The day light helps it sleep
But the quiet forces its pulse
And the pain just crawls deeper
Until the strength to fight is gone
When the morning light shocks the senses
Despair lingers on
Throughout the day the walls get smaller
Hallways extend far into space
Tears swell in currents
Leaving ambivalence in their trace
It reminds me of your passing
When I saw the last light of hope
I couldn’t reach to you for many reasons
None of which you will ever know
The thoughts just sit in puddles
That I pray to go away
But puddles become oceans
with no escape
I sense its arrival
try to prepare
even send out signals
to anyone that is there
But the line is left unanswered
no one can hear the call
it isn't without caring
no one can feel me fall
The Deepest Abyss
You look inside and fall in
finding the Alice tumble
magical and absorbing.
Down is relative. The
pit is dark and summoning
looking back with dark
eyes as memories
repellant and mute
and welcoming.
