Two pills left
Three required
Which of the two heads will emerge first
The panic is palpable
For now
But there is tomorrow
Then the next day
The day after that
The shadow wolf and the golem await
Taking turns the dice
Which will be first and at what frequency
For now, the doppelganger paces
And paces...

The call came in at five a.m.
Weren't we supposed to
Meet for lunch today?
I guess we never will now
Forever
I had to tell mom the news
Not sure I can ever forgive
You for that walk to her door
Then again, I guess I have no choice
Forever
Your children were with me
For the first 48 hours
The first time in a year I'd seen them
Now they can visit anytime
Forever
All that's left is a box of ashes
Cracked photographs of the two of us
More of the whole family with you missing
There will be more
Forever
With all of your pain and not taking my hand
When you needed it most
It may be selfish, I know
But I won't see your signature smile again
Forever

Cleave, sunder from the root
Spilled forth on the soil
Naked
Afraid
Rive, render from the pod
Scorched from the sun
Cracked
Bleeding
Shake, dither from the soul
Scarred on torment
Numbed
Immobilized
Breathe, utter the words
Cried from memories
Another dawn
Another dusk
Another night
Another cycle

I opened up my world to her
I let her have it all
I showed her things she'd never see
So why'd she let me fall?
I offered her my love and soul
All the things I had
I opened up my universe
Yet why am I still sad
The reason why my heart pumps gray
And clouds have turned to lead
She planted my love in an unmarked grave
All the flowers dead

That time of night
Once again
It thunders in
My dreadful friend
Static
Prose
The torment comes
Immune
Torture
A voice of one
Vision
Mercy
It has none
Pain
Worthless
The deed is done
The dawn creeps in
Relief at last
The night retreats
A damaged past
