Longing:
The desire for something greater
Imprisoned:
Forever repeating mundane cycles
Stabbed, prodded, pushed, pulled and beaten
Following paths of a decaying heart
It beats in time with cracking ice
So thin its facade of serenity
Lanterns burn black, encroaching the light
It’s swollen pulse pumping it’s black poison
Lost: forever in longing
In shadows that all lead to despair
