silence shattering into a million shards
too many to find, too many to seek
reason fled
it's all coming to a head
water runs over my empty hands,
and over a face that feels cold
and dead,
mine eyes are dull,
unseeing anything but my
heavy head.
bowed in spirit and in heart,
kneeling on a bridge o'er
raging water,
as narrow as a razor's edge.
the chimera runs like
paint in a flood
mixed with blood
and shattering shards
so close to one side and
the other,
can this all be in my head?
my arms feel cold
and heavy
as lead
as i press them to mine
cold, dull eyes.
who am i?
who are you?
really!
for as i gaze into the raging
water
all filled with the thoughts from my
heavy head
if i am i
and
you are you,
who are they?
shards glitter amidst the scarlet,
and along the reflection of my
head,
with dull
unseeing eyes,
whose vision drips off from
empty hands.
they are all shades.
shades of you
shades of me
shades of nine
shades of yours
and mine.
and
everything
in
between...
