too big a price to pay
down the dark hallway
dull light through it glimmers,
pure, an ebony smoke
plumes fume into forms and shapes,
a spinning mass of fear
a wonder that strains the mind,
peace may come through prayer
though it swaps and changes to hide,
shallow breath that mists the mirror
echoes truth but belies your smile,
a nervous giggle in response to it
just too big a price to pay,
Liked or faved by...
