Oh Fantine, our time is running out

19 4 2
                                    

take my hand, the night is ever colder.  I will keep you warm. take my love for love is everlasting. take shelter from this storm.

Staring in the mirror,
Remembering,
My nails attack flesh
trying to free this mind
From a body that is the beholder of my sworn enemy.

But no matter how far you ever go
You will be left.

Slamming doors ring inside your head

Insanity,
Anxiety,
Holds you a prisoner
Inside your house
Beside your bed.

You start a jar.

One with a slip of paper in it for each day that you wanted to make your last

A reminder that somehow

This somehow, of an inevitable tomorrow came.

The sun of course will always rise,
But you can control the number of tears that
ripple
and
Wash away

The invisible light
and comfort the mourners
With phantom stained
lies.
