Analysis of Welcome to the nether void
Once outspoken
always to tell the truth,
Beyond one's own perspective.
Now I will lay silent for a time and watch as things unfold.
I will surface once again when the time is right.
For my love is guarded and I will protect that at all costs.
I will only bear witness to all the fakes and see their unraveling.
I will wear my palm against my lips till butterflies swarm among us again.
I have wasted enough energy. I will sit back and sleep once again until the storm passes.
When I begin to speak again hopefully all those that are deaf and naive will listen and hear me.
For I am not death nor am I life, I am the barrier between both.
Dropping the veil between light and dark, what will you see when you close your eyes and silence befalls you. So, tell me who or what do you see.
