• Sweat, a gasp and a start.
    To wake with a broken heart.
    Grasping some forgotten art.

    Forcing through the veil.
    Wishing it'd been able to prevail.
    The silent wail.

    A song not sung, kept to brood.
    A hole left behind, to tarnish the good.
    Where once was pleasing servitude.

    Now there is only terror.
    To wake up confused.
    Unaware of what in the mirror
    staring back, refused.
