losing, shaking, in the cold blue light,

that throws patterns on the bathroom floor,

a flickering, something shattering,

no one knows him anymore,

music blares in through the walls so

paper thin, it seeps like smoke

inside his lungs where air is forced,

a final breath on which to choke-

wrapped around a tinted view 

of nothingness made shining bright,

he see’s the truth, instead of hollowness,

in clear skin marked in the night.

if before this he had missed you,

it never even tipped the sky;

now there’s a queue of people waiting

and a window three floors high,

someone take him in their arms

as stars pour down torrents of rain,

someone take him, never leave him

to let the darkness take his pain
