The Last Atlas

Oh, I must be dreaming
A captive in side of this hell
defeated and bleeding
Breathless
Descending the dunes alone inside the storm
The captives alive in this cell
Are writhing and screaming all
Dead skin below my feet
Callouses for declension on my own
The hardened surfaces numb the heat and
Mitigate the whittling and the breaking of my bones
Endless direction destination obfuscation
Deprivation of all senses and still
I walk alone, heart of stone, astray in the unknown
No, my purpose here is not apparent, it’s enigmatic
The reason I would starve and scathe for the soul
That compels me onward
I can’t find the way
I must go on
Let go
Let go, end slow
Let go of all
Falling below
Into unknown
Now rise
Now with water lapping at my palms
An oasis that I’ve conjured in defeat
Attempting to deceive
To split me into pieces and then tell me what they need
Have all of you been watching me?
Why did you let me starve?
What kept you from protecting me?
I couldn’t hear you screaming in the storm
Tell me how you begged for my attention
With a chain around your lips
If it was your resolve to save me from myself
Why did you let me die?
Trembling as my knees meet the earth
Along the darkened tide
The waters are refracting
All the parts that haven’t healed inside
Oscillating revelations are rising from the waves
I had not perished I was simply not awake
The knight upheld my valour
The soldier kept me safe
The child was seeking comfort
And the saviour hid the pain
Let go, live whole
Let go, into unknown
