Chase away what I feel
The taste has remained so long
Unsteady are my hands
As the light brings another dawn
What were once picturesque colors
Seems shutter into a dismal display
As darkness wedges into the void
My own shadow lights my way
When an existential plague begins to ensue
So does my heartbreak as I return to you
For heart wrenching as it is quieting my mind
The drone of another day is that which I cannot survive
For breathless I become when pressed to my lips
Slowly the cold is traded for the warm abyss
And though try as I might I cannot gain control
Drawing ever nearer till it has taken hold
And while others shutter at the thought of what takes place
I only begin to rest my weary head upon its solitary state
