the same way the sun gets in
the gloom gets in too
but sunshine only sinks into your skin
the darkness permeates
it lodges in the sinew
the bone
drilling into the marrow
where it seeks a permanent home
once it visits
it’s loathe to leave
and even if you manage to kick it out
it always finds a way back in

leaves, void of chlorophyll,
scratch along the ground,
blown by a ceaseless howling wind,
which echoes the sounds of my soul
naked rose hips, petals long discarded,
scrape against the weathered wood of the fence,
clawing at it, like the hounds of hell
knocking at my door trying to gain entry
why do you hunt me?
constantly searching for the shell I have become
even camped in the depths of despair,
you persist in driving me further down
into the abyss
I’m lost forever to your darkness
I am not the butterfly
but the chrysalis
after the butterfly has emerged
empty
void of feelings
the beauty contained within has flown away
leaving nothing but a shell
which dances in the breezes of life
Still histrionic, still a bookwhore; just faking competence because of my kid.
i've choked on my words for far too long
It's not the length of life, but the depth.
This is my mind, it’s not supposed to make sense.
