Nothing made me as full as you left me empty.
I found myself caught in ritual but with no idea of the why, no eyes for what links me to history.
It was then I began to see how powerful I'd become and I heard the voice that was silenced in my early youth.
The next morning you'd taken on all of my monstrous proportions, your roar had silenced you and as I held your neck I finally released it
and fell on you with tears.
Before that morning I had wandered around the block for a few hours, looking to be found. I saw you in a window, trying to eat.
The next day the phone call came and the next hour I knew we'd gotten used to living now with no sleep.
You would close your eyes standing up and I watched you console yourself with a cassette tape.
How could something so painful be so hard to stop - said the sunlight again. I have known you and known your friends and I am coming for you and before then you will hand your innocence to me I will make you sleep without you sleeping and be in bliss but have no memory of it.
It was all a trick and the more became aware of its mechanics and it's trickery the more we became stuck in it. You did come, cut the ropes tying our arms. And although I said the words you were the one that meant them.
