spiral of madness, stairway to lunacy

The distant echoes of a voice once heard

Shimmering into my being, the fog of my conscience.

Your gentle hands took me to the abyss; the ambience screamed,

Screeched in pure agony. I feel sorry for the inanimate, for they warned me.


Still,

Despite my innocence,

This beautiful tragedy - a twisted melody

Harmless lyrics evoking your desire for madness

The distant echoes of a voice linger still as I fall the stairs.

“I feel sorry for the inanimate, for they warned me” is especially striking 2 me, it gives the world a nervous consciousness, like everything around you is complicit and grieving.

It reads like remembering someone through their residue- sound without presence, touch without mercy. A soft haunting that won’t stop humming.

I always enjoy your writing a lot =3
