Dedication

Eyes that simply…

Are etched with oblivion. 

They attempted to revive me. 

Without making contact. 

They would hand their medicine through a window. 

Then shutter me out. 

Allowing me to stand and stutter all alone. 

Until someone punishes me with a sleepless night. 

What made it bearable. 

Was my dedication.

To escape the void. 

That is for now my forever-home.
