anamnesis

By cre

sometimes
days like these
the darkness still comes back to me
entomb me
make this room for me
there's no room for me
musty choking earth and I can't breathe
must we do this
- - -
i can't see
- - -
days like these
the nightmare still comes back to me
my own breath lingers in my ear
my own transgressions
have brought me here
the warmth of fear and sweat
this would be death
this could be my death
sacrificed to make a point
and even in living I lost this part of me
the heart of me
in this darkness that still comes back to me
sometimes . . .

on days like these.

the subhypnotic rhythm and quiet cadence of this adds powerful bleakness to the feel... the greywashed effect is also very effective... fab title, too, by the way; always quality from your hand. :)

I realy get this poem. It's sings of those times that it all washes back like a gliding shadow soft and silent, and you spin back to a time when the emotions were too thick and felt impossible to win against. And yeah, theres much more to this, but thats
