This was supposed to be surreptitious But my mind couldn’t take it any longer Those words had lost their way Those letters were now under the shadow of the dark I was left at a place Where I thought denouement begets the beginning But now the sets were dismantled and the stage was empty And my love for writing could now be considered an infatuation My soul lingered in the wilderness In search of sempiternal happiness Those papers bleeding ink Were now drowning in the oceans Because the weight of living Was killing me from within And those little pieces I had written Were the only things I ever had.
