sun shone down
moon broke away
and spring became a possibility
i spent time wandering the halls
of my mind and my body, up and down
my veins
until i found the oxygen
today i dug my nail into the knuckle
of my pinky finger
for an hour
because without the pain
i kept sliding into grey
amid a room of voices
that i knew i had to listen to
and it's ok, i mean the mark is barely there
but that clarity scared me
i think i'd rather fall asleep
than rely on crushing hard into soft
dead into alive
just to prove dead is alive
no matter how it may feel when untouched
and i have been left untouched for days
so when my heartbeat made itself known today
i was afraid, and i wish i knew
why
sun hid behind the clouds
moon ate at the sky
until there was nothing left

sorry i've been busy, but the poetry's back
