Existence is shimmering through
A litany of souls,
Ever-bustling and occupied.
The greys blur and blend,
Drowning in an ocean
Without saturation or warmth.
Colors wilt as the petals of a rose,
Perception compromised
Under the spell of deep grief.
Frost creeping up the frame
Like icy fingers
To announce impending frostbite.
And in the vast expanse
Of ever growing darkness
There is a glimmer of life
A sign of hope
Dig
Climb
Run
Jump
Do anything you can to feed that hope
By any means possible
Escape that place

As I stared through cheap sunglasses, looking at your porcelain seeing the reflection of my hazy eyes and the masses and the lies.
I see what's left of your body and it HAUNTS me!
It doesn't let me go because I won't let you go.
You broke me and ways no one will ever break me.
you took me to places no one will ever take me.
Now, you're a princess in the clouds.
I'm the court jester left on these hallowed grounds.
You're my angel next to the bed where I lay my head.
And as drown my sorrows in all these bottles
Filled with nothing but yesterday's hopeful tomorrows.
I realize.
I can't keep this life this way.
It pulls and it tugs against everything that I've ever known.
And everything that I want let go.
