so freezing, so warm
yet to behold
the truth waiting ahead
oh, what torture it is
yonder, a twitch, a tweak
take me to where the difference lies
how long it takes
for time to move; stuck in place
a recurring theme, inescapable
as I followed the trail of light,
forgotten was the need for a body,
my mind in control, what an atrocious leader
till the moon is up again,
I cannot save myself,
stop the bleeding, cuts still open
grieving the living,
loving the dead,
meaning is a privilege not many understand
cover my eyes, love
cover my ears,
for I will break, was I to peer
what awaits me from here
