        a dark place

════════▣◎▣════════
 
tears cling to lashes
like thoughts to ashes
as soot saturates silence
flooding corners
shadows retaliate
for forcing them out
casting doubt on self and life
merging with gray plumes
in a clouded mind
buried in residue
pressed fingers
pray for death
when each heartbeat
is another regret
it feels like
there are no alternatives left
 
════════▣◎▣════════
