A train
Dark, fog, and rain
Walk to the door
Walk through the door
Step up
Sit like I’m stuck
Faces blurred out
Faceless without
details
I’ve never felt
like dropping off
like lamp fire moth
I dove so far into nether, seems I’ll never be seen again,
but I will mend before too long
I am strong
and I will live when this is done

There's a common thread
in what Alicia said
and the falling church
Center slot is cursed
To the door, through the door
I've always wanted to love what can't be saved
In a train car,
I'm reminded
all my love is selfish
in the dark I felt this
I am here, always here
I've always wanted to be recognized on the street
There's a part of me
in a parted sea
split by giant hands
I don't understand
where I've been, where I am
I'm always worried that I'll never make it home
I've dove so far to nether, seems I'll never be seen again, but I will mend before too long; I am strong, and I will live to see this done

I keep having the same strange dream,
where the presence that guides me to write dies in me
I want to you to board my train
and finally see what I mean, so I feel sane
But instead you just ask, “What’s up?”,
and I say nothing
But now, here’s something:

You can only see from outside,
you can only see from outside
(I love you too much, I love you too)
I’ve been treading water all night
She won’t kill me, but my fear might
Circle back to smaller holes now
fire’s in me and it’s cold out

Climb out
Walk back outside
Walk to the pines
My fire to them
And then,
fall to my knees
So sings my soul,
“How great thou art!”
You are!
I tried too hard
You take a knee
Kneel next to me
