Echoes Muted and bouncing Reaching me delayed. My hands hazy and grey Colourless. Lifting my eyes Opaque clouds above Mists and shadow below Still the echoes Are reaching me. Try to take a step toward the voices I fall The darkness writhing and curling Around my feet and legs Bound. I open my mouth To scream The shadows flooding down my throat Stealing the sound. The clouds descend Heavy on my shoulders All encompassing. I struggle to my feet. My muscles and bones screaming I manage a step Crumpling to my knees Exhausted. The voices take shape ‘What’s wrong?’ ‘Talk to me?’ ‘Tell me how to help?’ ‘I don’t understand ‘ ‘Just think happy thoughts’ ‘Make changes, take steps’ I open my soundless mouth Try to bellow the words Into the heavy cold dark Try to tell them Help Me! I am trapped and can’t find the way out. Desperate I reach through the cloud Arms shaking with effort I reach toward The last haven The last heaven My heart, ma coeur My cherished summer For some light and warmth. As I reach Sightless I feel the threads of shadows Snake up my arms Flooding from my mouth Reaching for him with sharp cold Clawing fingers Trying to claim His golden heart through me. I withdraw Eyes wide with fear Ma coeur is not safe near me. The voices of others Who have fallen by my greyed hands Cut through the shadows Piercing my bloodless heart. ‘I’m just going to go’ My hearts voice says ‘I’ll leave you to it.’ I empty my lungs As I try to beg him not to go With only eerie silence To reward my efforts Sobbing voiceless in the quiet Shadows feathery movements Drink every tear. The sun turns away, I feel the muted heat Fade. I commit the last sounds of his laugh to memory And do the right thing At last. I let go. Cold, I curl into myself. The shadows My only company. Darkness, be my friend, I plead As it claims me once again.

Disappearing, my love. What I would do to have you here right now... so here I go.
