Umbra

How long

Along

Have I been hiding

Severed and dying

Hold on

How long

Will shadows burrow deep

Unravel my dying

Under this light I see through

The shroud on my eyes that see you

Under this light I see me now

Obscurified

Under this light

I hold this breath within

And then I swallow

Beneath this breathless state

I fade away

In my numbness I survive

Break the walls inside me

It’s the only way I’ll feel your cries

Resonating with you

Remember

This mystery

Holds us bound

With the heart beat
