I can’t fathom how much I feel.
Like trying to measure electricity in an eel.
Broken and tormented I am.
Subjected to the big force.
Tattered and alone as a ragdoll.
Pour salt into the wounds why don’t you,
Make them gape even wider.
Words like venom from a lethal spider.
Sticks and stones don’t break those bones,
Only phrases and irony.
Silhouetted against the walls,
Stalking to and fro down the halls,
I embrace the blessing of shadows
Because friends like them ¬¬¬alleviate sorrow.
And then the lights began to flash.
Smoke turned to ash.
No longer apart of the fragmented past
A feeling that only you could make last.
I love you.
With you I don’t have to walk on cue.
With you I don’t bathe in rue.
With you nothing else matters,
But without you I will surely shatter.
Drown me in your light, mistress of the night,
Only you can bring an end to the bright.
It’s cold in here, necrotic and damp.
