Awake

5 December 2021

Shallow air,
Feel despair.
Longing for, 

Some honest care.

Dwindling lights,
Feel fear.
Contemplating whether, 

Love is rare.

Some fires,
Burn out.
Some fires,
Consume your mouth. 

Persistently perceptive,
Consistently convenient.
Malign mistakes,
Tremendously tedious. 

Lights out,
Whispers get louder.
What shape is love,
Roads get crowder. 

Numbed time,
Insurmountable pain,
I am asleep,
I am awake.
