///inspired by a song//


when your heart is so irreversibly broken, what will become of you?

when your soul longs for a forgotten past, what will you miss?

dancing in the dark leaving you cold and wanting more, forever longing for a wounded past you can no longer hold

children and songbird chirp into the empty space where your soul once belonged

mockery becomes you so well it becomes a second skin

you hide under the layers of protection you have placed upon you

when you lose all hope and no longer believe in living...

is there anything worth holding onto?

if there any future worth living when your wounded animal self becomes you so permanently it's like you were never anything else before it?  

woeful and broken you limp your way threw the endless dark searching for the light that will guide you home

when will you find it?

when will the warmth touch your skin and save you from this unbearable cold?

remember that throughout this cold and painfilled moonless night...

keep hold onto the things worth holding onto never let go else you'll be truly forgotten and swallowed by the cavity that is known as your sadness
