Perilous - October Tide

An ode to those

Drowning in a sea of dreams

The few that know

The feeling

Something always missing

Sheer pressure of existing

When the emptiness comes

It’s hard to be whole

You have been replaced, although

It’s bitterness that linger, in the place you once called home

Lost in the garden

Where only darkness seems to grow

The sight that captivates, amiss

Stealing a breath

The eyes that resuscitate

In the bloom of death

No, you are never alone

Lost in the garden

Where only darkness seems to grow

Lost in the garden

Where only darkness seems to grow

You are not alone

Waiting for the feathers to fall

Drag your feet, hang your head, walk along the walls

In this labyrinth of thorns

What is left?

What is right?

Where memories are born — just to lose their light

The hand that led you here is not to blame

The grip, the warmth, the smile, the fear

Something always missing

The iron in the name

It was always hidden, can’t you see?

When I disappear, promise that you’ll find me

Where the sky and ocean meet
