Refer to page 27

to correctly understand,

pages feeling uncertain

with my shivering hand.

My mind wanders

with every word,

taking me to places

where each syllable hurts.

Milky white eyes

turning greyer by the second,

life drains out through me

as my doom slowly awakens.

Refer to page 27

to be bombarded by repressed memories.

The pages aren't unsure

to my now familiar stories.

My secrets spill and sink

into the pages slowly,

like ink.

My pain now has page numbers,

my heartache has a chapter

but art is sacrifice, they say,

so my agony doesn't matter.
