Razors make no noise

Weakness stares from the mirror,

Sad,

Sunken,

Rubbed out, eyes

Dissecting every move

 

Judging

Me, my thoughts

 

How do I know you?

 

This drunken dance of fate

Of chance

Of doom

A ritual

A ceremony

A sacrament

A habit…

A chance conversation with the one reality that does not escape me

 

Cue the tears the terrors the trembling hands,

Razors make no noise

 

Bent to break and sick in the soul

This burden is sure to take its toll

 

It’s the light,

Now I see

It’s the light that reflects this soul

 

Turn down

Turn out this light

 

Take away this burden

This tired

This troubled soul

 

Take away this being

This thing

This me
