the in between

 
my axis of hope turn sideways
split, shatter then turn to ash
a sinister sun watched on

in the darkened corridors of my mind
long shadows cast distorted figures
the delusion complete

a spell on the tip of my tongue
dissolved into nothingness
I spit bitter truths
no one heard me scream

I held tight to the dark
midnights divine my soul's reality
I stood outside myself...a spectator

deceased thoughts were buried under guilt
they went to the gallows without protest
hung on the penalty of purgery

tears stung my eyes
I refuse to cry
lies uttered in the dark

would die there
