the alchemy of their drug
seemed to be the perfect cure
something to help rise from despair
from that fast approaching edge
fueled and ready for a new direction
instead
launched through barbed wire
ripped bare of defenses
set afloat alone in a sea of salt
to scream where no one hears
to feel the burn of all those wounds
writhing in pain trying to escape
or maybe just to give in
the colors draining out and mixing
forming myriad shades of grey
washing over the ability to fight
instead
a color touched with grey
something unexpected reaching out
far away and somehow close
a new found weapon
an ally in this war
- Title: instead
- Artist: esbern
- Description: written from a time of hope in a medicinal cure that was turned to debilitating fear and aloneness and then instead of falling to that darkness another came to stand beside me and is still here to this day, and here on gaia as well being the beautiful soul i came to know and am still learning more about everyday and still amazed at the ally and one and only i have found.
