Apart
"How did we get this far apart?"
Pushing me as hard as I push
you
With confused contradictions fighting over dominance
No soul, no
strangers, wishing for other places
Away from that place, where death gently
picks at our bonds
The closer, the further
The lights disappear with desecrating
red.
Clashing of nature and hatred, conflicting us, rain falls silently
The rain that falls when the beast makes haste
Silent, silent to freezing point, decaying into nothing
The fire
burns the rain into screaming, screaming forever
Locking madness and pain,
suffocating nausea, thrashing, the rain, the rain, the rage.
But the wheel
turns further, all cast back to the abyss.
"I promise, I promise, I promise….I love you."
David R. White October 1992
