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
