A distancing

severance of habit

By Not NemoPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read

Always in the back of my mind

But never intertwined

Close enough to sense it

Detached, deaf and blind

Everything a feeble glimpse

Faces in the mist

Ghostly images protrude

Hellish scenes persist

Indisputable remnants

Jolly as they are

Killing time to form a semblance

Love, it’s time to part

Many try and many die

Never to be seen again

Overtop the mountains

Perceiving gentle trends

Quitting is a step ahead

Relapsing, one back

Severance a final hit

Train veering off track

Underneath the surface

Voices seeming weak

Withering and lurking

Xeric tunnels reek

Yes it’s true that red and blue are colors to be seen, but

Zero out of one times you forget the color green
