Slow Descent
All eyes are synchronous.
No last fight before the last call,
resign to it.When all my instincts have gone,
No light, no burden, no ending.
Would you carry anyone my dear?
Is this your life? Will you
march on without...(Not me.)
And in the aftermath, by these long
strokes we'll settle this.Comforted just as they curse to prove,
fighting on. Before their eyes,
they never do.By the worst of old lies
where the urgency became the focus
now.To descend from your life.
Lost in the fade, I'll forget what
could've been.In a world full of wrong
and in quickness you're afraid it's
over now.Still it's all because,
in the silvered air.
Ruptured to breath
Away from you.
I haven't said enough,
save goodbyes, to know the way
to blue-grey skies...
I can only see the day
lit in stars after the light fades.
And in the aftermath, by these long
strokes we'll settle this.Comforted just as they curse to prove,
fighting on. Before their eyes,
they never will.By the worst of old lies
where the urgency became the focus
now.
