Held on

To you

By Vicious AvaricePublished 8 months ago 1 min read

At first I clung so hard to you

That I felt the pain as my finger bones shattered

my skin was shredded and the muscles rended

And then I held nothing,

and the darkness took me

Whispering that I wouldn’t heal

Wouldn’t feel warmth again

And then I did

And in that instant I forgot you

Lost you somewhere behind in that darkness

And no matter how hard I try

I just can’t remember why it was so important

That I held on

Even if my hands bare the scars of reflex
