Even a Stranger

When saturated gloom continues to climb and refuses to detach its parasitic rhyme, we can be consumed with need for touch. Even a stranger's smile can mean so much. When darkness swallows our totality and invisible pain evokes its brutal, we can be consumed with need for touch. Even a stranger's smile can mean so much. When our internal and mind disconnect and fulfillment is no longer even a concept, we can be consumed with need for touch. Even a stranger's smile can mean so much. No matter the depth of depression's bleed even a stranger's eyes can help it recede.
