I’ve never known how to
Give a little
Of anything
Be less than
The most
For if Love was
Candlelight
I’d burn down the house with it
For if sadness was
A raindrop
I’d flood cities
For if anger was
A pebble
I’d cause an avalanche
I either feel
Nothing
Or
Everything
All at once
Or
Never at all

I long for sleep
to bring me at the very least
A few hours of
Solace
Silence
A moment To
Slip out of the shackles
The shackles
That is
My mind
Yet
Like anything I seek
It does not return the need
Hunger
Despair
Forever grasping
Eyes closed
Darkness enveloped
Yet there is no solace
Yes
Silence
But the
Crippling kind
A silence that is so heavy within my mind
The weight I can not bear
I’m sick of feeling such hunger and despair

you ignite
the fire within me
i didn't know still exist

and for that
i'm thankful

you make me feel alive again
