leaving the languished

Silent, subtle, serene with blood and tears.

Stoic, stunned and sinking slowly.

Trying to find value yet never understanding the meaning of worth.

I hear a piano and her ivory keys dropping down with an echo that holds me still.

Don't ask me to be more than I am, I don't know who I am.

I've been languishing in this moment that is playing repeat in my memory.

Sadness drenching me through with a hollow wind whistling past.

Punished, prosecuted and fined with this guilt.

Naked without ever having anything to call my own.

Soaring to heights without a way back.

I will cry with a cry that will shatter the crystal sky.

Jaded, just and hungry for the absence of this pain.

I will fight with a fight that will free me from this mind.

Leaving the languished, leaving and taking what was left behind.
