quiescent

i walk out blindly

on the frozen sea

where the light has failed

clutch to beams

that sting to touch

where the lies took you

maybe moths need a path

maybe the flames are all they have

failed to rescue

damaged wings

it's the same old sin

to repeat

failed to rescue

i can see

that a line is drawn

at our feet

burrowed beneath

fill our dark hole

making leaves

clutch the roots

and sleep

crawl into the earth

to the land where the light has failed

maybe moths need a path

maybe the flames are all they have

don't want to see you belie

failed to rescue

damaged wings

it's the same old sin

to repeat

failed to rescue

i can see

that a line is drawn

at our feet

is this is how you repay me?

you kept me whole

then silenced my thoughts

how can i repay you?

a canopy of horror drowned in this sorrow

and if you cross my mind again

i'll curse you out

enveloping you

a swarm

and you die alone
