A Dark Moment For Kyle Brimly
A heavy shudder into my chest, turned a reeling pain aside,
Pouncing upon Truth from a vicious slide,
Leading into pits of conceivable darkness,
And unimaginable slivers of plight,
Courage within taking to smolder, boiling of riddles to lack,
Of once noble and a pronounced act,
Slims of hope and shivers belonged to lost,
A radiance aching on infectious contract,
Ripples of claws over my way, crashing upon turbid wastes,
Deplorably holding me for disgusting taste,
A gasp into this sickness, for little further,
To crawl inward for promise displaced,
And all the while my hand reached, slipped from edges of light,
Into vanity below as I beheld it in sight,
Delving beyond imagination I had known,
Forgone was my sanity, and forgo is my life,
Soon ended my first sip of my stupefied conscious in liquor,
Whether I realized its intentions, or it was my own,
The morning came into the night, and it had only begun,
For I drowned in the Citarum, in the depths of my own lie
