home is where

home is where

in the silence of the halls , echoes the ghosts of dreams. long dead, abandoned and crushed.

Home is where hope goes to die.

the echoes mock me; mold me; haunt me; hug me; hold me; tempt me with the peace of closed eyes.

repelled by the light of aspirations set aflame; i feel the ashes of my desires guide me (deeper) into the darkness; away from the illusion of warmth.

in the silence of the halls, the darkness speaks -

“Hopes hurt; hundreds have hoarded their dreams, pretending to preserve them from me.”

“darkness is a delusion,” i tell myself.

“darkness dissuades you from delusions” it tells me.
