Today I saw the life being sucked out of a man's eyes.
Though he never died; not a part of his body wavered.
He held in his hands his life.
His daughter and beside her lay his wife.
Today I saw the tears stream down the face of a man mourning more than one loss.
Today I saw one heart grieve two.
And so I lay them both to rest, hoping one day they may all start anew.
A deep sleep consumed me, wrapped around all sides like a flowing stream of infinite silk.
Heads turned down; rushing in a hurry down the stairs.
But out of all of them I see you.
Standing upright like the rest, yet so different to all the others.
You fascinate me, I try to watch closely but feel as if I am afar.
And now I sit, unmoving.
The epicentre of my own downward spiral.
Unwilling, unchanging; staring desolate into the void.
Bored into unproductivity.
Feelings of loathing arise.
The great pleasure of completion fades.
