Far from whole

Taken by ruination

Crawling, through a shroud of wasted weeks  

~

Light drains

Love wavers

In the colorless mornings

Spare and cold

~

An old voice dives

Drowning, in the coils of a bleak hereafter

Weighed down with oaths sworn  

Leather-bound and buried

~

Far from whole

Before the faint red glow of a promise

Beyond the pull of a dream

White walls

Close in
