minima maxima sunt

Denouement

When taken down the path of tragedy
You experience a kind of,
Darkness.
A whole new shade
of a silly little fear.
But by this time, it's no longer silly.
It's the most powerful and drowning fear there is.
You get lost inside the darkness,
It's like being held under;
Ice cold
Obsolete
Waves
And then comes the destruction of yourself.
First you lose the senses
Sight is the quickest to fade,
For there isn't anything to see.
Hearing, it vanquishes not long after
The silence becomes so deafening, it's no longer a metaphor.
Taste following suite,
Only kept around long enough to ensure safety of your touch.
Smell; slowly, but surely, it too shall fade.
They say you can practically smell fear
But it's been so long, it's no different then your surroundings.
Then the ability to feel anything against your skin.
You become numb,
Starting from the outside, working its way in.
The numbing continues,
So your soul and your mind try to protect you.
They tear themselves apart.
Starting with your emotions.
Remember the feeling of joy?
Not anymore, you don't.
Excitement?
Gone too.
Slowly, the darkness rips away all of your shallow emotions, leaving only the powerful feelings left.
You begin to lose guilt
Then despair
Then sympathy
Compassion
Everything protecting that one emotion, is gone.
Love;
it's what has kept you fighting so far.
Yet, as fate has it,
Love will be lacerated from your soul too.
You're humanity is gone.
Just like that.
Each day
You forget a memory,
Starting with the worst, ending with the most magnificent.
Your mind and soul have worked so hard
To keep you alive and safe from the darkness.
But I guess that's the irony of it all.
You kill your mind to stay alive.
