redefine: hell
by Aaron Michaeli never saw it coming.
this jagged feeling
all points and nothing
soft enough to dry
tears and bloody shards
of bone so i can start
to stitch them back.
i hope this is as far
as i fall. i want to
climb again.
someday.
the bright side of not knowing
is the worst i can imagine.
but all that i am showing
is what mattered to me then.
i am alone in thought and hell
and sobered by that very fact.
i no longer hear the tolling bell
that once showed me the way back.
i will follow the trail of impacts
that i left on the way
into this madness.
i will temper myself through
this pain.
i will collect my broken pieces
in all their
glorious sadness
and pray i will be
me. again.
from all sides
shot.
and dumped into
what i pray is
rock bottom.

Soft words enclosed...I hope they find their way to you. |
