No warning given,
just a restless tapping
deep under the skin,
a pulse that doesn’t belong
It swells without mercy,
a storm with no horizon,
growing out of control
until it finally explodes.
Pebbles crashing,
into the quiet of my mind,
ripples crossing, colliding,
disturbing every still surface.
Dark shadows gathering,
inside every thought,
a restless torment,
shattered the calm peace.
Sinking further within,
silent fractures spread deep,
endless thoughts spiraling,
a doorway never meant to open.
And once it opens,
the dark doesn’t rush in;
it waits, patient, deliberate,
as if it has all the time in the world.
