Breathless

Lone… oh, I was so lone.
Lone was all I was.
I reached for the light,
but it drowned in its glow —
sinking slow,
down below,
where no warmth ever grows.

I ran from the dark,
but it bloomed like smoke,
it breathed through the cracks,
it choked,
it spoke.
A voice of mirrors,
a velvet roar —
it ate me whole,
it wanted more.

And I felt so… shiny,
crystalized in fear,
hollowed out,
yet everything was clear.

I was lone,
and I was all.
Falling through myself,
through a mirrored hall.
Lost in the glow,
too bright to see —
the light was dying
inside of me.

Then I saw it —
a glimmer,
a spark on my hand.
I was fading,
derealized,
half dream, half sand.
Everything bending,
too vivid to bear,
the air was singing,
there was gold in despair.

Sequins of childhood,
shadows that gleam,
a little warmth,
a half-remembered dream.
The world unfolded —
it hurt to see.
Your face, your beauty,
unburying me.

I was lone,
and I was all.
Falling through myself,
through a mirrored hall.
Lost in the glow,
too bright to see —
the light was dying
inside of me.

You were stunning,
I forgot to breathe.
I was dying.
I was dead.
I was dead.
I was—
dead.
