I waited
for the bait
patiently,
at the bottom-most bowels of nothingness
where days drag by sluggishly,
days laden with frozen hours,
hours dripping with laboured minutes,
minutes with plodding seconds...
Lure me with
a restive thought,
an unfinished tune,
or even a piece of shattered pain
fading away from memory,
release me
from this deadening numbness...
Catapult me
from these desolate depths
like a stone,
that i may feel
the smothering air,
and scatter across the skies
a handful of broken stars...
