Rainy Monday

I tried to keep up
Really I did
But I tripped, I stumbled
And the world kept moving
Time still flowed, the endless river
Sol replaced, Luna, Luna replaced Sol
The pattern infinite as space itself
The same black darkness
That now consumes my being
Eating away at me slowly
Each day, a new lost part
Squinting to see those so far ahead
Losing myself in the underbrush
Of the dark path
There is no escape
The cycle, the path
As everlasting as the darkness
That haunts me still
