Embark

Because the idea of hiding is fantasy

Darling, will you please
close all of the blinds?
A light's shining through
and it's hurting my eyes.
With all of this darkness, 
still sense my demise.

Dear, if you would, please
pull down the shades.
I know that one's pain
even though they'll feel raised.
Certainly, I did not walk away unfazed.
Alive yet occurs with lingering decay.

Love, just. Don't open the door.
I've stepped away for too long.
Jaws may hit the floor.
Let them implore. 
Have moved on in my core.
Excitement stirs, I keep subtlety stored.
