search continues, hope fades
when we met you made a niche inside my body
beneath my ribcage and above my spleen
the niche was small at first
but you filled it completely
and with time you and the niche both grew
and grew
and grew
into a complex universe of spores and nodules
weaving between kidney, heart and lung
but always friendly
so benign and ever-welcome
but then you shrank
and you left
left your negative inside
and the search it goes on
and the search it goes on
but hope, it fades with the passing days
and the search it goes on
and the search it goes on and on...
but hope is fading
fading with the passing days
soon you became an extra vital internal organ
and then you shrank
and left a howling void behind you
there are endless doorless corridors
inside my upper torso
unique impression cast within me now
search continues, hope fades...
