like a dark cloud
you hang over my thoughts
threatening to break my calm/ serene
behind my eyes
brimming
i can only hide for so long
now my thoughts are as cold as you
rotting beneath the world

were you bound by chains?
by death?
did you run as fast as you could?
for me, did you run?

i was plagued by dreams of a world
without you
once
now life is what plagues me

i used to be whole
but slowly the world is imploding in on me
and sometimes i welcome an end
but then i'd be no better than you.
