Forever Dark

You can’t lay in the Dark forever
when Life, clings to you ferociously,
you lay there limp
no Strength in your muscles,
no Mass in your bones, no bones,
legs sprawled
half hanging over the bed’s edge,
You would be Dead
if Only.

Your cage expands,
ribs push taut under skin,
They collapse
If only they would crush your Life,
But it Beats,
Beat Beat,
Poison exits your lungs,
cleansed air is the Devil,
That binds you to this world.

Time is a figment,
of this world’s imagination,
maybe this world, is of your imagination,
A nightshade,
Where Shadows hide smiles and
Smother laughter,
they fill your insides,
Torture by expansion,
But invisible to the eye.

A millisecond has no meaning,
But Infinity
Count time through breaths,
Shallow and Ragged,
Remnants of a once jovial Shell,
To which Life still grasps,
let it lift your torso, your arm,
let it move you to the first shade of light,
You can’t lay in the Dark forever.
