Too deep
in the black ink
of memories you dwell in.

Swimming in the stain of your sin,
lost in your darkest page…

I watch
as time lurks.

Your eyes wander in the past
searching for a forgotten word
in old poetic lines.

Creeping
its nails upon
your skin, scratching open wounds
feeding on your wracked sanity;
blood spills down this bare page.

Lost still,
as ink pours out
in shallow puddles, it gasps.

You free it, but still you’re tied
deep…
in your own
darkest page.
