Chapter III
As the dust settles around me, I wake and bask in the light. The darkness does not last for an eternity. This solace shall be mine to keep, for now and for all time to come. It will not be lost on me. You will always be a part of me in this life. Always.
Life in the vivid dream, all these colours wash over me. I can only observe. Veering
off the course, guided purely by spite.
You are not obliged to take heed.
But do not consign me to oblivion.
The tangible and the intangible.
One cannot exist without the other.
An intrinsic part of me, always.

Then it all came crashing,
a gash through my reality
years wasted, lost to you
this garment is now heavy
and I’m losing colour in the face
I stretch and feel
the pooling in my veins
the blood I shed curdles,
sits sweetly in your palm
I hate you, come closer
grace your fingers on my chin
you have the rest of my days
