silence seeking a new burnt memory
scarred means to utter decay
a new breath led me astray
down the hole I crawled
seeking a fresh embrace
slipping
sliding
ever closer to the abyss
the festering kiss branding my mind with desire
free falling from my graceful perch
crash landing on a shattered land
and I lay broken, still, and weeping
now to heal the fractured
suture the wounds
and wipe away the tears
regain my feet to climb up and up away from the deapair I feed myself in heaping forkfuls
I must repair the damage I've done
become as I once was
