Shadow towers are looming

And I see buildings

Self-destruct

Clouds are moving in

Gently dancing with ease

The wind carries a breeze

That places me

Where I’m supposed to be

–

Rain came down on the heads

That kept looking upwards

Eyes filled with water

Eyes weeping rain

Looking strictly inwards

–

It all came crumbling down

Shedding the skin

That once held me close

To my bones of warmth

To my essential being

And my existential angst

–

The destruction was revealed

I stood naked in the midst

Shadows looming in my face

And fear crippled my senses

Crows nestled in my chest

–

Shrieking grew in my heart

Became louder than my voice

It all rapidly came apart

Leaving nothing as it was

–

I become a shadow

And I hovered

Over shadows that flew

Shadow towers now looming

Over bodies that I knew

–

Self-destruction now apparent

It’s the only one that remained

It’s what left of I

As shadows began filling

The broken mirror of my eye
