Remain As I Gray

 

I am haunted by apparitions of dormant eulogies 

Yet I never told you of these 

For you could never understand why

I\'ve stained your house with insignificance

Why the imitations of youth

Make all the difference 

Why I leave ginger hand printed innocence

Umbrella submissions in October\'s November 

Plastic witnesses sought to remember

My love of ember,

Once upon a time

Where I\'m tracing the remnants

Of primitive smears

Underneath the floorboards

Where I hid my fears

In light of demons behind thee

Lighting thy hallways all of these years.

Blessing your binding

I will always

Remain as I gray

In the ground where I lay

Echoes in corners where I was once praying

I think you\'ve forgotten where you left me

Decaying

While I repair and give air

To a prosperous seed

My producing shall grasp from all that I heed

With this mask I\'m hidden in spaces

Between

Now and forever

Completely unseen

Clean, though unaware of the sever of-

I reach for thy hand to help me deliver

The Love that I\'ve salvaged

From the dullest Gray,

Is now submerged in a pool

Of pumping pleases

Incompletely whole at the end of the day,

I\'m closing the cupboards on your

habitual feces.

In binding, 

We could save much from your mental diseases.
