When I see your name
A blackness envelopes me
Crushing coal dark
A mine-like tomb
In seven letters strung in some specific order any momentum I had gained halts and crumbles into crystalline shards
A singular moment rings bell-like in my mind
When all I had become became what you saw of me and not I of myself.
In that surrender I shadowed and slipped into a world you made
I became your creation
Closing my minds eye to itself
Closing my heart from itself
Relinquishing imagination for apathy
Living only for the sound of your voice praising your definition of me

When I see your name
A blackness envelopes me
Crushing coal dark
A mine-like tomb
In seven letters strung in some specific order any momentum I had gained halts and crumbles into crystalline shards
A singular moment rings bell-like in my mind
When all I had become became what you saw of me and not I of myself.
In that surrender I shadowed and slipped into a world you made
I became your creation
Closing my minds eye to itself
Closing my heart from itself
Relinquishing imagination for apathy
Living only for the sound of your voice praising your definition of me
