Caught in a void
Attached beings beginning to deploy
To sever or board
The loose ropes drifting away
Feeling lost and annoyed
Dredging up deep sand in a current
Of previously unfelt raw emotion
Completely unrelated to the situation
Immediately reverting to a childish state
Remembering a flash of red from frustration
Unresolved by typical attempts
Overwhelmed and left to wonder
Reactionary damage upon return
Small holes burn slowly through
Decisions among opinions
Who seem to get louder each day
Growing a poison that seeps through their skin
Seeking shelter in the one that sees it
Discovering you has been no deciet
Although this time is over
And i will miss these moments almost daily
Your reminder will be hard to miss
But it may offer quick resolution
To a strengthening tide of defeat
The small ways that they can get to me
Working to senseless exhaustion weekly
Finding a slice of laughter in an unexpected friend
Making timeless memories of where it began
This transition extracts the marrow of the bone
So that we can,
Once again,
Stand on our own.
Losing the silver lining
Left to find what was worth finding.
