never so peaceful

as this black night takes me
starless, brilliant, and clear
the crisp bite of this reality
daunting and all consuming
i leave you now

this cool dirt covers me
a warmth i never knew
as air escaped me
never so peaceful
these open eyes ever seeing

why cry the tears of the forgotten
when no one will remember
their saline dreams
as earth and sky become one
forever more

the dark place you go to when you produce your best work must be beautifully horrid.

perhaps one day you will see a glimpse of light through the darkness... perhaps.

as always, your writing is brilliant.
