We the Person                                    (Little Wing)

Sometimes, not all the time, it's like quicksand, sucking me into an abyss, and the more I struggle the less I can break free.  
 
"In there... well we try our best not to go in there.it's dark and i swear in that space, there is no mark or trace of the lost one.  
 
we watched him go in when the storm raged outside.we called out his name but he never returned.
 
we think he was tortured, his body was quartered then dumped in the corner and ceremoniously burned.  
 
 We do our best now to try stay afloat."
 
sometimes, not all the time, we run aground and it's then we don't dare to make a sound. in case we wake the dark one because he's the one who'll  be the death of us all.  
 
"We try. god knows we try to keep our feet on the ground  
because we tried to live in the sky, and though the times were good the cost was high.  
 
We've now found another mouth to feed."  
 
Sometimes, not all the time, the silence between tick and tock can last an eternity.
