Holding Thoughts

the slip of night, falling off
a place you knew was never right
when you need what you didn't want
there long before, holding thoughts tight  
 
the ins were on the outs
amid the screams and the shouts
darkness lay in doom and draft
plunging down another shaft
 
another round,  
I can still hear her sound
tongue rolling in the ear
life itself had disappeared
 
she stands now in the shallows
waiting to drown
her sorrow, my memory
til nothing is around
 
midnight strikes  
what will appear
what will appear
if I could just hold on
in the torment and in my fear
