A darkness steals over
noiseless as shadow
A midnight companion
A sudden sadness remembered
It pricks at the eyes
startling tears

I am heavy, so heavy
wading through the earth
struggling through atmosphere
dark and poisonous
thick, smothering
so thick
even my sharp cries
cannot cut it

And it hurts somewhere deep inside
though everything is dulled and slow
drowning in molassus
unable to die
the heart insists
I am
But I don't believe that anymore.
