The Dark Unbroken

As the night is closing in

Unresolved and undefined

Denies the need and challenges necessity

Deprivation in a chaos of words

The hours break the sinews of resistance

The endline blurs

Where the impossible and outsized

Never learn to coexist

Not for meaning

Not for need

Not for want alone

Not for want alone

Not for meaning

Not for need

Not for want alone

How can we silence what is never said

How can we scream away the noise

It's burning from the inside out

The restless tries not to remember

This useless insight that sheds more light on the pain

Must remain in the unbroken dark

In stages of infinite time

It lies and it waits

The nerve endings touch

The surface of my dreams

And what seems like life

Stretches out eternally

I took on too much

The hours fled

And I was left here

Stranded in doubt

Not for meaning

Not for need

Not for want alone

Not for want alone

Not for meaning

Not for need

Not for want alone

How can we kill what is never given

How can we scream away the night

It's burning from the inside out

The restless tries not to remember

This useless insight that sheds more light on the pain

Must remain in the unbroken dark

Not for meaning

Not for need

Not for want alone

How can we silence what is never said

How can we scream away the noise

It burns on the inside

As I try to not remember

These endless, useless insights

Not for meaning

Not for need

Not for want alone

How can we keep what is never spoken

Here in the unbroken dark
