| ~Descent~ Clutching the scar that never heals. I question how much of what I'm seeing is real. As I descend darkening stairs... Orpheus to your Eurydice. All about me are the lost souls... Of inner demons, discarded pieces of a broken whole. Visions of a descending angel, down the winding stairs. It's too dark to see... Was that a vision of you or me? I've picked up so many keys in my day. And no one else comes here anymore anyway... But surely one of these unlocks the door. Am I releasing or being released? Fingers wrapped around the shadowed iron bar. Yearning, merciful eyes shining out from the dark. I'd do this all over, twice again. But locked in this pit, what can we do... I'd rather be trapped, if only it was with you. Equal sides, either side! Tell me the secret of your heart that drives me so. Reaching my hand through the bars... There is so much I feel that you might never know. Which one of us is on the outside? I can't tear myself away from your fleeting touch. Back up the dark stairs again... A departing glance was not enough... Take my love. |
