Friction of the mind

Read between my lines

See the weight

hang me down dull

Attrition at the brim-

Pressing in

Work of the grey

Threat to lose grasp

Unwind grip on brittle clasps

Subtle seeping

Burning doubt

Crumbling on the verge of no more

Flick of the flame fades

Crimson gold decay

Idling mind,

darkening and out.
