Consumed

As I'm lying here
Eyes fixed upon
A nondescript ceiling
I barely remember
The mask that hid your face
The sorrow behind your voice

You implored me not to go
Come back to me
But did you resent that I needed more
The rope had long run out
Can you hear me
And I'm falling deeper

Still lying awake
Patterns emerge from the ceiling
Dispelled with just a glance
I remember now
The piercing hatred in your gaze
The pain behind your eyes

Why did you run from me

An expedition in search of knowledge
Where are you
Oblivious to what stalked me
The moment I crossed the threshold
Can you hear me
Time no longer applies

Exhausted chemical hope
Are you safe there
Left with an unquenchable thirst
A wave of longing washes over me
Can you hear me
Like I left something behind

I hear an aimless screaming from afar

Why did you run from me

Caught in an endless pursuit
The walls are shifting again
What was I looking for
Something's chasing me deeper

I run but not away
Am I to be consumed
I know now I might never find you
This earthen passage spirals deeper

Are you safe there
Can you hear me
Where are you
Can you hear me

I hear an aimless screaming from afar
