Deep Canyons

I swallowed my worries in syrupy spoonfuls

Serving no purpose, I gave them power

Baffled, I punished my thoughts…

…until they were raised and red

I breathed and waited for a sign from the godless sky

You were dissolving in the water

Shame runs fast in deep canyons

You sacrificed me; risked my last bits of peace

I watched you decide…

…my pain was a fine trade for borrowed time

I breathed and waited for a sign from the godless sky

Moved on

Dragged my broken armor behind me…

…it is my hope

I am a ghost waved away like smoke

I am a ghost that you haunt from time to time

I breathed and waited for a sign from the godless sky

A quiet passage opened and I moved on

I have embraced the silence…

…despite the blisters and the blindness

This hope is deep

I have still a long way to go
