Fear
You led yourself down here
amongst the darkened reeds,
to snatch the cold immersion
and breath it into being.
Speech won't drop its flare
the corners here still crawl,
tell yourself a summers day
as the night eats out your eyes.
You led yourself down here
in tangled clumps of hair,
to feel the weight of mud
and dare to shape its face.
Footsteps fast behind you
race home on rain soaked streets,
dragged nails inside a wardrobe
as silence hears a heart beat.

Well, I mean, feet, meet ground. Hello ground, where are we going? Dunno, let's find out together. Awesome!
I've witnessed a hell of a lot of mistakes in my lifetime, and sheer observation alone has been enough for me to form the contention that the line between "mistake," and "Some part of my mind knew something I didn't," is Real Slim. Doesn't mean it's not painful as fuck sometimes, but we all just gotta hold on.
Hey, what's the difference between dharma, and karma? I dunno. I just make up my own.
That's plenty good enough for me.

I'm so captivated by the impressive structure and flow you've penned ... smooth, fluid... sounding so pleasant to the ear, which adds such lovely ambience to the wonderful dark and foreboding theme...
Thank you for sharing such great work.
