I Wake Up Cold.

Redemption.

Here stand I, in the midst of a light so thick it drowns.
Covered in soot- made barely visible.
And yet, here stand I:
BlackBlackSilhouette, in a light so thick it drowns.

There is no place to cast a shadow./




I wake up cold.

And you:
You are colder.
You are thinner than I remember,
thinner than I pictured.

I wake up cold.

And you:
You are colder.
You are clearer than I remember,
More precise than I pictured.
And more absent, too.
