I sat on the cold hard ground My tears soft as the velvet cloudless sky Slowly breathing Inhaling one star at a time Trying to light up my mind Feeling the ice crack within my lungs Everything is in slow motion My blood no longer runs like a rapid thundering river Slowly it seeps through the broken arteries of my heart So much has changed, I think of how much I have aged I can feel the invisible demons clawing their way back I will sigh as I can hardly control them As they multiply like a virus They are silently waiting now Waiting for something The perfect moment to release their toxins But for now I lay on the silent ground Listening to the earth breath Allowing the winter night to swallowing me Nature keeping the demons at bay
