I felt the shadow of that dread reach into my mouth
And when I tried to speak, it silenced me,
Gulping down my words
so nothingness spilled between my lips
And spread across the ground
Emptying what's beneath.
If I had moved, the crust on which I trod
Would have caved in
And standing where I was,
I heard it cracking all around.
Sure it cracked.
Sure it fell,
And all of it has gone.
Sure, I am all alone.
This is a pillar that I'm on,
A hundred miles high,
With no one now to touch,
none to say my name,
and none to call my own.
