[PRESS PLAY]
there is no light in this
place where i reside.
my eyes go black and
there
is
only
condemnation.
*can you imagine being devoid?
a soul like nothingness.*
what allows you to imagine?
what allows you to wonder?
[PRESS REWIND]
once i had felt the light.
once i was the light.
now i am lost, eyeless.
*if only i could unsee.
if only i could unspeak.*
what to do when such
secrets blind you, silence you.
[FORWARD TO THE FALL]
i thought i was sunlight.
i thought i was kind.
now i understand
i understand.
nothing can be undone.
it can only be remade.
