I Do Understand

I do understand one 
fact.

Clearer by the point 
next to any.

When I actually don't.

Neither do I need many.

More becomes the 
must.

Later turned the page 
into a now.

I am riveted with fear.


I adjust.

My eyes.

No more.

Nerves exposed.

Less tears.


One cloud brings rain.

One heartless pain.

Soulless,  within the 
coldness.

Surrounded, by my 
darkness.


I have derailed.

My mind was the train.

Becoming.

Undone.

Alone.


Mirrored.

By my shadow.

In the suicide shade.

I can never fade.

Away.


I have nothing.

I have more.

I have something.

Less to gain.
