slipping into darkness through a dirty blue facade
resistance only makes the failure worse.
best to calmly take the ride deep into the abyss
at least the destination's no surprise
perhaps in several weeks or months they'll grant you a reprieve
and let you wander in the land of light
it is a tease, the cruelest hoax for hope eternal springs
and infinite the times that hope is crushed
so now the realization of return has dawned again
they feed upon your sadness and your grief
while they chitter endlessly and lap up your despair
the emptiness feels strangely like relief.
Inspired by A.J. Bell's _Blue Room_
