In the darkest bed
I have laid you down
Down in the deepest well
Though you call for me
I have distanced myself,
From afar I see you
Deafened and disconnected
Perspective gained and altered
By the deep.
The urgency of your cries
Have dwindled and faded
Into the gloom
Circling back to me in the fog
Yet muffled, damped down.
By the dim
All urgency is gone now
The importance of your cries
Pushed down stilling the deep.
There in the stillness you lie
Not yet dead not forgotten.
But to live I will push you
Deep beneath
Into the deep dark
Into the quiet, the recesses
Not forgotten but not minded
Lest One day in all carelessness
I forget to keep you there.
And breaking the air
Your cries scatter the fog
Breaching the surface
With your small waving hands
Grasping and gasping for air
Screaming for freedom
You Escape
Ripping me apart
With your life
