Darkness leached at the last remnant of light,
My confining sanctuary dims yet again,
Our fourth month glooms, shrouding,
Flickering by like rolls of old film,
Projecting the past and present.

Rhythmic tapping along the windowsill,
Pelted knocking, "friends" asking to be let in,
Erratic pounding, my headache,
Everything converges into a blur,
My mind melting at the memory of you... of them.

Your hymns continue to hold me down,
Words that weigh greater than life itself,
Your prospects of devotion, a burden,
My divinity, an untimely sacrifice,
And all approved by those on the outside.

It's their words that null me,
Your desperation that numbs me,
Expectation, anticipation, an absolute perfection,
A willingness all for naught,
All repentance is but an afterthought.

My world of sheer silence,
Coveted by my conjured demons,
Where the walls I've built up
Began to cease and crumble
And I too began my personal fall

Into oblivion.
