Nothing but
black
light
penetrates through
cracks in the
edges
of you
Reaching out
to
find
a space
Emptiness now fills that place
Scratch the surface
Scrape the bone
Crack through the cartilage
Only to find, inky-dark marrow
Drain the wound
that doesn’t stop seeping
Til it pours down your throat, plugs up the ears, fills up the lungs
Black inside black over black
Black inside black over black
Space (space)
You dropped away (you dropped away)
Cavity
Vacant
Are you obscured? (are you obscured?)
Or is there nothing there?
Time (time)
Time drifts ahead (time drifts ahead)
Moments freeze. Static.
Kept facing forward. Didn’t hold on. When I turned back, you were gone.
Seeking out the find a key.
Searching for a door ahead of me.
There’s no light from behind, I’d been walking blind.
Groping for any support I could find.
Flickers of light would awaken.
So many gone, I’d forsaken.
Vacancy
Slowly filled by viscous blight.
Scratch the surface
Scrape the bone
Crack through the cartilage
Only to find, inky-dark marrow
Drain the wound
that doesn’t stop seeping
Til it pours down your throat, plugs up the ears, fills up the lungs
Black inside black over black
Black inside black over black
Space (space)
You dropped away (you dropped away)
Cavity
Vacant
Are you obscured? (are you obscured?)
Or is there nothing there?
Time (time)
Time drifts ahead (time drifts ahead)
Moments freeze. Static.
Kept facing forward. Didn’t hold on. When I turned back, you were gone.
Small and alone
Fear pervades, so shut down
Bury deep, hide it all
Til it can not be found.
Search to heal, but it’s lost.
Remedied, at a cost.
That neglect, breeds the dark.
Black inside black over black.
