Not even sleep will wrap its arms around me.
Laying here, broken, bleeding, tears flow free.
All I've ever known is crushed between your hands,
Like my neck, as I get lighter, lighter,
Till I'm a sleepy hollow rising up to nothing, nowhere.
I long for the sweet embrace of somnia,
But there's no one left to hold me.
Only a memory of you, shattered to pieces,
Lodged in the forefront of my mind like shards of glass,
Out of reach, killing me, taunting me like eternity.
It's what Dante couldn't dream. It's all I ever long for.
Sometimes people look at themselves with such hatred that they burst into flame. When they've burned to ashes their spirit breathes life into the embers from which they arise as a new creation, free of the chains that they'd bound themselves by, free of the lies they'd wrapped their aching hearts in. When nothing's obscuring them they shine a light so others can look at themselves & the masquerade they call life. And if they have any vision left, they burn. I burned.
