Into The Unknown

I. Forehead beaded with sweat

Grey wires wrapped around my neck

Shadows are lurking behind my conscience

I open my eyes only to close them again

Crestfallen hopes and false memories

Sounds of tears and torn relationships

Wrapping myself in the blanket again

I drift off into the unknown.

II. Endless answers to questions I don't like

Ever-maddening thoughts circling the same dysphoria

Bottomless ocean of unexplainable guilt

I hide behind the comfort of my façade

Leaving the closest, clueless about my well-being

I drift off into the unknown.

III. Open skies, dewy grass and painful longing

For a gentle caress of unalloyed tenderness

Tearful eyes store an anthology of merriment

Reminiscing how comfortable I was, once,

I drift off into the unknown.

IV. Sleep, a kiss to escapism

Feathery footsteps fading into an obsidian nigtmare

Grabbing for anything that'd help me 

Bring back stability under my jelly legs

I have no control over this holy coffin as I am

Running out of reasons to hold on -

I drift into the unknown.
