Perdition

Perdition
Cacophony
Voices laughing and crying
This is where three roads intersect
The colourless mile feels endless
I hold my breath
Until the levee breaks
And someone calls me
By a different name
I enter the void
The abyss
Between the lines
On the palms of their hands
Everything's white
Words disintegrate
Waking up with my eyes closed
Paste and phlegm
A string through my mouth
Under the jaw
Hands bound upon my chest
The singing still resonates
Within my abode
Alive but laid to rest
