what madness does find me at this hour before the sun rises and our shame sleeps that i might find myself in a lackadaisical daze drifting in and out of awareness of the world around me and on the shores of my consciousness do i find a wayward scrap of a memory lost long ago where i saw you standing in the moonlight
and you did dance, as i recall
staring emptily into the abyss of the soul astounded at its chasms and respiratory failures an inability to breathe in the toxicity of subconscious desire and drowning in its own shallow loneliness
a raft was built to carry me on the flow of memory and pain that do associate itself with your images the ones that had tried to be forgotten and twisted through the entirety of time now seem like a movie playing backwards where the ****** was two strangers walking away from one another never to have known each other again
was it love or was it just a dream; looking back 12 years can go either way
