With every step
a mile of memories
combing waves of conscious.
Each pace forward
the plot deepens
dust and bones.
Fixed to follow
empty thought
my feelings full -
brought to boundaries
I am overwrought.

Pillar of sanity
close to collapse,
screamt vanity
betwixt the heart and synapse -
crowded emotion within these walls
I crown the I's and slit the T's
to a last-ditch scrawl.

If I am not of tomorrow
unable to escape
and if the sun not rise
as a starless cavity takes shape
I leave you
everlasting
with my
unrequited embrace.
