your hot breath wafted on my neck in the midst of a fitful slumber
I opened my eyes and saw the invisible nothing that had been here since…
the pain hurts so, not unlike acid burrowing too deep to take out
yet quite short of numbing me into deep peaceful unconsciousness

Hear me, O, moon goddess and take now my life.
Spare me, I beseech the, from this mortal strife.

teary-eyed i leaned back as fluid ice seeped into me as a glacier would
copper drops tainted what would have been clear rippling crystal
the metallic sting of the incision that had been mere seconds before
along with all my thoughts, my turmoil, now subside, now subdued

i long to see what changes you have been through after…
but i guess you would very much rather not have me nor have me know
as i fall into the dark and unexplored abyss of dreams, surging and ebbing
i wish i only knew, though i know i will not, where did you go,

now that I’m gone?
