As twilight creeps in
Exhaustion devours me
Yet sleep still evades me
My mind races in circles
You are my only thoughts
Upon the floor
Anchored in sorrow
Awashed in moonlight
Still
Silent
As if the world has stopped
As if time has learned to forgive
I can feel the floor pressing into me,
The gentle light weighing on my soul
The only sound, breath
My breath
Crippled by agony
Begging without words
Give me understanding, it pleads
I will sacrifice, it bargains
No more, it implores
Still
Silent
As if the emptiness carries on well past my heart
But I feel safe here
The light consoles me, comforts me
I think I will stay here
For awhile…
