disappointed.

I felt it

creeping through my fog

white and shining

treading the light

kicking away the gray

nipping at my toes

but I couldn't stop the black

from tickling its fingers

up my spine

funny, how such

simple words

can turn this lovely white mist

into a deep

black

hole.

and now

I'm walking on ink

staining not only

my heels

but my worn out

heart

how could I believe

that something could really

go perfectly?

I was treading the light

but now I'm drowning

in darkness.
