There is a deeper darkness lingering

An emptiness eating slowly away

A melancholy aura beneath a hovering grey cloud

The mood ominous, all encompassing

.. but the intentions a mysterious shroud

Stealing every moment’s pleasure…

Leaving me unable to transcend

A frightening blow in the spiritual realm

The light went out of her eyes

… and it was not much of a surprise

It had built and compounded it self gradually

Dramatic living

In traumatic experiences

Leaves a soul shattered in pieces

Yet to piece them together.. you see

The insanity that has been reaped

…And a delicate line breached

Looking at you as if for the first time

I sense something there

No recollection seeing it before

This certain aura

A certain air…

A humanity, a mysterious, vulnerable being

Behind the theatrics on display

There in the shadows

Lingering…

A golden epiphany

Collecting the fragmented pieces

Connecting them like a puzzle

Allowing me to see

It is not he who changed..

..but my perception of seeing
