i lie awake in the crevice of emptiness i’ve grown comfortable with it the silence no longer bothers me it hugs me silently the darkness kisses me gently i want to live like this forever … a small light has entered the crevice it curiously bores its head through like it already belongs it’s been a while since i’ve seen light i hesitate but i can’t seem to hold myself back … the light has taken over part of the crevice it’s so pretty it hugs me warmly it fills me up; in ways the darkness never could i feel fulfilled i think i don’t want to be alone anymore … the light has breached the crevice it has taken root in every corner i don’t mind it smiles sweetly as if a first kiss its eyes hold me — almost practiced i can’t sleep with the light i can’t stop thinking with the light something about it seems different lately maybe it’s gotten comfortable … some of the light has left the crevice i desperately try to grab it but it seems the harder i try; more seems to slip away it only pauses after i feed it gemstones pieces of me i can’t seem to grow back i’ve figured out how to contain the leak this should hold i’m running out of gemstones but it’s alright i’m happy with the light … the light is gone i don’t understand it was still smiling at me yesterday i gave it gemstones i gave it my warmth i gave it my time i gave it my love i gave it my life why has it left the light needs me it has to … the darkness whispers in my ear the air is tight i can’t breathe where is the light i can’t see anymore the darkness disgusts me the crevice is falling apart .//@? where is the light where is it where i can’t see i need it give it back give it back WHERE ARE YOU

the crevice was never this small
i lie awake in the crevice of emptiness i’ve grown comfortable with it the silence no longer bothers me it hugs me silently the darkness kisses me gently i want to live like this forever … a small light has entered the crevice it curiously bores its head through like it already belongs it’s been a while since i’ve seen light i hesitate but i can’t seem to hold myself back … the light has taken over part of the crevice it’s so pretty it hugs me warmly it fills me up; in ways the darkness never could i feel fulfilled i think i don’t want to be alone anymore … the light has breached the crevice it has taken root in every corner i don’t mind it smiles sweetly as if a first kiss its eyes hold me — almost practiced i can’t sleep with the light i can’t stop thinking with the light something about it seems different lately maybe it’s gotten comfortable … some of the light has left the crevice i desperately try to grab it but it seems the harder i try; more seems to slip away it only pauses after i feed it gemstones pieces of me i can’t seem to grow back i’ve figured out how to contain the leak this should hold i’m running out of gemstones but it’s alright i’m happy with the light … the light is gone i don’t understand it was still smiling at me yesterday i gave it gemstones i gave it my warmth i gave it my time i gave it my love i gave it my life why has it left the light needs me it has to … the darkness whispers in my ear the air is tight i can’t breathe where is the light i can’t see anymore the darkness disgusts me the crevice is falling apart .//@? where is the light where is it where i can’t see i need it give it back give it back WHERE ARE YOU
