And remain aliveDeep breaths

A vacuum of black
There’s nothing to hold it back
Sinking to an abyss

Its a far away moment
Even though I’m in it

Inability to live presently
Come together

Ravona wrote a new post, End of the tunnel 10 years, 11 months ago
There’s a light coming,
It edges a moment at a time
It says “hold on, draw close, step forward”It was there in the distance,

Never stoked by shut eyes
It flickered, whispered, and […] - Load More
