I felt for a moment, earlier on, as if my sight was leaving me…
I could focus on nothing and all objects were blurred.
My head felt as if it sled and gashed the jagged edge of old wood, carrying with it the faith of my suffering and an unending thump.
I had not eaten and foolishly had I carried my degradation as somewhat of a trophy, silently and proud, my body and its decay as my own trophy…knowing that only I could withstand my own horrors and live…but alas I have gone too far and have allowed my circumstance, like a snake, to uncoil itself and ravel from my grip with poisonous snares at my life.
I feel a disconnection as i walk the streets, a nothingness with everything around me and as I hurry into my head with these stubborn thoughts, I am drawn to my left, only to see the sun’s end, shattering pinks throughout the sky as it sinks deep, its full orange perfection glowing and drowning…what magnificence, terrifying and true.

She was a protector, a friend and a home.
I call you, “my little tea cup.”
I wake up on mornings to you from your floor…
obviously I’m talking about Obsidian and those days past.
Those days, those memories, they are my place of dwelling…
and on evenings when I am able to, i easily detach myself from the now and slip into my thoughts…these thoughts, my home.
You ask if we will ever need anyone else…your silhouette arched towards the window, the leaves breaking and the glow from your lips passed to mine…
“We need only each other Anie, and let the rest find us when they find us”.
I became a bliss…a subtle birth of happiness…quiet under your warmth…I became the night while you slept, returning to you my most precious strength…
and this i replay constantly upon my torturous now, my days of daggers., my aching and my reason for escape…my reason to return.
I am not alive here, i am not here…
I will never be happy here, not here…
I engrave my faith on my thighs, singing with a quick blade…
I like the light, its sudden pain…
A glimmer, i would fain regard its glimmer to my name.
I am oceans at your shores, inviting you in…at night calling your sail.
I am sad when you are away…and my bones, my grave, my body tired of breathing.
I hide from the sun and cower beneath the subway…traveling and never existing whilst i sit on its trains.” —
my heart i cannot hold, i am too old and not as young as he.
this child jumps from my chest with thoughts i often discard, as they come they go…
but to him, at my desk, reaching only my feet…to him they are magic and he grabs at them and smiles from within me.
this heart surrounds himself amidst my old library, tall shelves, boxes with pictures hidden, songs and words written.
this child…i am to old for this…this child.” —
