Into Their Shadows

Immersed in dark, closed quarters, restrained

where eyes can't see. Succumb all dreams and

yearnings, forged from within deep sleep.

Their tranquil hymns brought comfort,

Engrossed affinity. Your mind's bereft and

dormant, responds to others needs. Blindside,

Collide. Elusive, digress; Laid out to rest.

Reflections, through the looking glass, does

nothing to reveal the heartaches that were

felt, and soon won't disappear. the edifice

feft standing, A hollowed sacrament. Assembled

to dispose, a life filled with regret.

Blindside, Collide.

Drift off into another world, assume it can't

exist. Intuition defies all logic, emulsified

what made sense. Possession, inoxic;

vulnerability, yet blindly moving forward, head on

impetuously, Blindside, Paralyzed.

Desperate, reach for your idols hand, a prayer

to paradise, Concoct hallucination, affirms new

meaning of life. Mirrors had shattered, and

opened up new sores, addictions left immobile,

and locks up the doors.

Your life once theirs; no more.
