Anti-Pattern

After The Burial

I am a shadow slipping into the abyss

A part of me that will never leave

Just to remind me of who I have grown to be

Pulling me side to side

It won't forget me

I'm watching where I step

So I don't fall between the cracks

An anti-pattern in disbelief

I can't convince myself to be better than I am

I am the watcher

This is a severance

We are waiting for the signs

It'll take more than fortune and shooting stars

To keep me from falling

I unwrap myself

I dissolve

Into one-thousand pieces

I am a shadow

Slipping into the abyss

A part of me. Never leave.
