:vapors:

I walk in to find

You lose your beautiful mind

Fingers spill all over your face

I see you not seeing the light

I see you give up your last fight

A single ray becomes a fragmented spectre

I burst in in time

To watch you drown your poor harrowed mind

I will not stay for the slaughter

I cannot stay as the vultures feast

I leap up too late

As you whittle away

The fraying edge of your heart

Leaving only a jutting lip

Falling away to a baleful precipice

I show up in time

To find you lose your only true way

You flicker like an ember in a sandstorm

Heavy as a bag of dust ground from the marrow

Of your demons come to pass

You turn cold

Not the you I once knew

You draw a ragged breath of uncertainty

Begin your laboured descent

A selective fall from grace

I watch you disappear

I know you’ll be back

Even now

I hope you come back
