underneath...

i wish i could see you,
i wish i could hold you...

gnawing at me
is this thought
that if i would have said
a word to you
a word of love
a word of truth
i wouldn't be worried
whether or not

it lurks where
shadows live, shadows thrive
pushing you
away
pulling me
further down
a riveted soul
full of lesions
drifting toward me
searing, shrieking
certain death

in this place
i don't know time
i don't know life
in this place
if i walk
i tread and sift
ever deeper
if i had only said
a word to you
a word of love
a word of truth
i wouldn't be worried
whether or not

it lurks where
shadows live, shadows thrive
pushing you
away
pulling me
further down
a riveted soul
full of lesions
drifting toward me
searing, shrieking
certain death

and this is just the

alpha


creation



beginning.
