Down Time



When profound words won't save me
And sound thoughts escape me
Black velvet dreams consume
Every corner of the room
And whisper, my own fears berate me

Every hour of torturous pain
Bears the marking of a name
Bitter sweet this bruise
Knowingly, my muse, my ruse
I sink with you, that I may rise again
