I withdraw from grief
And defer within
Content not knowing
In this careless refrain

Fully immersed
In the flawless spiral
With eyelids firm
At exile’s clasp

I peacefully drown
In this silent coil
Bereft
Passionless
Capsized and hollow

I’m inclined to fall
Upon plains of sullen grey
With resolve diminished
And tribulations crumbled

My cause to defer
Has wrangled me once more
Gradual in release
Yet swift to draw me in
