about

Your face is downturn/ my chest is tight/
Here we go I know this feeling well/ your mouth opens/
with white noise/ and you fade into the billows/ ears ring/
a shallow breath that stings/ knowing where this leads/
every single time/ will you ever find me here?/
we have many times scoured these halls/ and paths
carved with tears/ but never could we cut through the
smoke and mirrors/ the lashing tongues of flame/ the fury and pain,
will I ever again/ find a lightness and freedom?/ a heavy black plume
hangs low/ that breed of oppressive smoke/ that fails to blow away
with the wind/ All the while unbeknownst to me/ the mirrors hold us to
high esteem/ sending their reminders/ at any time/ I choose to look at
the me/ Before I became a shadow/ cast in smoke
