Yearning for Silence

HangingbyaHalo

 

If I could,
I would break all of it away.

Yet, I find myself relentlessly deconstructing,
An active build..

That is very counterproductive.

And Quite Tedious.

I’m Constantly finding I have brought the wrong tools. 

That I am full of the wrong solutions. 

I am often unsure of the contents of these halls.. if they contain great riches or untold ruins.

For l was given no blueprints. 

These corridors have no rhyme or reason some days.

So I can understand why you get so lost, sometimes I do too. 

Other days I can tell you exactly how many steps before the trap door opens 
And the 
       F
         A
            L
               L
Comes

I struggle to decipher with only what was given searching for clues I fear I’ll never find.

Retracing steps like following the blood stains will eventually lead me to the source of the wound. 

I have patched many this way.

And unearthed many more.

I’ve walked past doors with broken hinges evidence that sometimes things are better left open and destroyed.

I have also caught glimpses of tombs I have not gained the courage to enter yet..

And still 
The thought Of deconstructing everything looms.

The nothing of no longer building or fixing.

Just… silence.

    Wow, this was haunting and deep. I walked the halls and felt like looking through someone else’s eyes. Your’s I suppose. Thanks for sharing.
