Trauma Ties
The last light
The last light dies
The closing fear
An endless tide
Forget what you have come for
Now is only to survive
All dire imaginings
Surface at the edge of sight
Blind the true intent
Stalking underneath
Drawing ragged breath - beg for release
Forsake what you would covet
Now misshapen, dispossessed
Who will wake and who will perish or
Vanish in dementia’s grasp
Hide the true intent
Claw your way beneath
Isolate your prey - and then you show your teeth
We are all but lost - what have you done
We are lost - goddamn us what have we become
The blood becomes purpose
The terror contagious
If we are the monsters
How names that which hunts us
There is nothing left of me
In this form descending
Languish narrowly between
The dead and dreaming
Forgotten in decay
Now silence, staring blind
Forget what you had hoped for
Broken, torn, or lost below
Trauma ties us to this place
Cursed to haunt the souls that follow
The last light dies
