time has changed
the days and their names reign meaningless
the hours wound, the days sicken
the overwhelming sadness wraps me like an eternal night sky
devoid of stars or moons, lonesome and nostalgic
~
the loved one becomes expelled, then cursed
he crumbles in aching seas and aging fears
he panics, he loses, and he gives up,
he tries again, but he fears everything and everyone,
he is left alone,
and he dies a bit more, and a bit less
~
the cure is never found, never remembered
it is a myth, a tale of dreamers in a poisoned world
