the familiar vanished into the darkness with me left behind

nightmares turned daymares,

only distinguishable by time-

the same time that told me it could heal but was now nowhere to be found

faded memories and jaded futures chased me until my heart was out of breath

unable to outrun this emotional death

held down and crushed, the only offer was for me to abide

why hast thou betrayed me and left me forsaken; I thought you were on my side
