a darker whole concealed

within the folds of a truth revealed

a blank passage

unread chapter

in my book

of memories



It crawls though the space behind my face

trying to complicate the scene that surrounds me

slapped in the face, a bitter taste

lingers to penetrate, confuse and astound me



striving to widen the spaces of consciousness

It still keeps me locked up inside myself

searching for some sort of revelation

failing to confront the situation

I keep on slipping

I push it down

beneath the surface

I've forgotten

it's still there



It crawls though the space behind my face

trying to complicate the scene that surrounds me

slapped in the face, a bitter taste

lingers to penetrate , confuse and astound me



and I can't forget

and I can't forgive

and I still regret

and I still re-live



standing on the edge I see

emptiness and fading dreams

shallow pools of everything

nothing seems to comfort me

born into obscurity

cannot find security

clouded by the hate I feel

look to what I know is real



nothing but the world around me



still I fall back through

still I fall into

a darker hole

a darker whole
