in the heart of darkness
—by Conghalaigh


oh such a phrase
meant to show the bleakness
the depths
of our fears and sorrows
but it's telling
isn't it
it has heart
faith
some receptacle of that blood pounding
fear

all you can hear is your heart
betraying you
pulsing so hard
you cant hear the silence that worried you
wondering
if you scream
will it matter anymore
because you dont exist
not really
you're just property
of someone else's reality

if you can just have heart
fuck. we know what that means now!
we stop speaking
start planning
a way out
so this darkness
which is
the light out of here
