Here are the quiet moments
the whispering thoughts
eating
at your wayward soul
devouring your being.
Here are the lingering queries
clouding
your sense of direction
in a darkening haze
suggesting all that you lack.
Here are the patches of darkness
the voids where light fails
blotting
out your hopes and joys
with a flood of viscous tears
congesting you with reality.
