Dawn & Dusk

Stale milk
Stagnating inside
We harbour envy
Then it rots our minds

It darkens our corneas
Until all is black
It poisons our tongue
Weaponises it for attack

The world melts away
Leaving only sharp edges
The sun diminishes
To darkness, it pledges

Your flesh turns cold
As the warmth disappears
Your emotions embalm
No more smiles, no more tears

Life leaves its trauma
But we traumatise ourselves again
When we choose to wallow
In the deep wells of our inner pain
