if your deep bellows find you
the thorns of treason reach you
and the definite uncertainty leads you
will you search for me?

in times of unending loneliness,
infinite breathlessness,
and permanent darkness,
will you think of me?

i have been long waiting
but you're abrasive, misleading
will you only need me
if all options aren't working?

i will be less obtrusive
maybe a little more observant
you need a little more time to be lost
to find the things you need in life

but for the meantime,
i'll be the snake
silently preying over you.
