they said

they said to go deeper
but i did not know how
there is not enough
breath in me
 
they said it will pass
but it never did
and now it is my friend
or at least tolerable
 
they said join us here
and then left early
i forgot where to meet
and sat alone
 
they said nothing more
and hid their faces
how do you work with silence?
what tools does one use?
 
they said to bring it into the light
but i only see shadows
what should i do then
when i no longer know your name?
