The ground is unsteady, no place to belong. The days blur together, the nights drag on. I’m caught in a silence, too heavy to bend, not broken, not healing, no start, no end. Now it’s only shadows, darker than the miles. Shadows, shadows… I wait for a crack to free me. I wait. I wait. I wait a while. Your ghost still lingers, but the future won’t come. I’m nailed to the doorway, half empty, half numb. The air is unfinished, the pause never breaks. Every breath I take just deepens the ache. Now it’s only shadows, darker than the miles. Shadows, shadows… I wait for a crack to free me. I wait. I wait. I wait a while. Blood runs restless. Restless. I reach out… reach out in the seam. One word. Just one word. Could anchor. Could tear the in between.
