reality sinks in
like thousands of pins
piercing my skin
this is home
in the sense
that i've lived endless days here,
but i've never felt
more lost in my life
down the rabbit hole
i go
only this time i'm
falling
alone
things were much
simpler
when your hand
was always in mine
when i land
with a thud
at the bottom
of this long
tunnel
things are too dark
and my eyes
have trouble
adjusting
this time there's
no one to lead me
i crawl on all fours
through the dirt and grime
mud caked onto my fingers and toes
creepy crawlies
scuttle across my appendages
but i don't mind,
i welcome the company
