heavy heart, 
filled with questions
but those eyes are dark 
dripping caves, 
you will never come out 
alive. 

what first stole your
breath
now grabs at your neck, 
squeezing every last 
murmur
out. there’s no use hiding 
in the shadows– those 
irises are made of what
blankets you.

you can’t hide // a.s.m
