Retroversion

by shawn   Mar 23, 2017


Needles sting down my spine.
One by one they start to aline.
My skin melts, showing nothing but bone.
Is this what it's like to truly be alone?

The heat subsides in a time reverse,
Numbing my pores with its curse.
Day and night are all one,
Biten and alone without a sun.

Frozen solid in time and space,
An empire toppled without your embrace.
Crashing down, I'm no longer whole.
Scattered throughout the fields of your soul.

Lost in thought to why I'm expendable.
The meaning of your words had become epochal.
Abandoned to a place not so obscure,
A scent of lilies holds some allure.

I send my dust forth through the onset sqall.
Vigorously grasping, I yern for them all.
Time shifts again, your aroma lingers in air.
Thrown back to the start, do you even care?

Synapses firing in my mind.
Could this be the final time?
This will be different, I assure myself.
Stinging and burning I slowly start to melt.
