I crawl into my shadow

Sadness

Away from the light, it burns my eyes

It’s safe here, serpents whisper,

I recede into my shadow.

I crawl…

 

There is something inside of me,

an enemy, a friend, torment.

Ripped from the edge of light

No redemption insight.

 

The heart grows cold,

take this love, take this life.

Coal burns, this dying soul.

This tomb…

 

I breathe the loud silence,

the night embraces me, away from the light.

Am I him? From the pyre of your eyes?

Amends with the light.

I crawl…
