[hometext] => my first shared piece here in 5 years. hope you enjoy
[bodytext] => A part of me still wants to hold onto This series of photographs in my mind Before the candlelight betrayed you Leaving behind a fragile pile of ashes Still wanting to believe in a monster called sincerity Holding out for a miracle in an act of futility As I slowly head back towards the shadows Gluing together the fragments of all that could have been Yet the pieces dissolve from ashes to dust With even the slightest touch of my hand So imperfectly frozen in time and rife with decay I'm forced to sit there idle, only hoping to understand Holding onto to another monster called humility Yet barricading myself victimized by necessity Till the foreboding fog lifts from around the mind's eye Carrying with it the fragments of all that could have been Till then the candlelight will comfort me from a distance With a purging glow which dances with a childlike innocence Making its lupine demeanor blend in with the rest of the shadows As another face another name dissipates into whispering echos.
