A breath away from dying
A tear away from crying,
You, the glimmer of light
A bird in flight,
trying with all my might
to hold back release
you insisted,
persisted for me to give
what I needed to live.
Opening your arms
turning on charm
asking me to surrender.
Grasping onto pieces of possibility,
Giving up my grip on reality.
That which lives will always pass,
A blooming flower a part of the past,
Turning into the fading dust
Of what once was unlocked trust.
Embraced by despair,
by one that doesn't care,
through claims of passion
a false admission,
circumstancial evidence,
hanging chains of repentance,
No longer acceptance
of what is not real.
Armor worn to kill the demon
voices screaming
to RUN and attack
I stand back
no strength for this war
weary to my broken core
I sacrificed and was taken,
Gave my soul and was forsaken
Bitter and angry,
this has stained me.
I go...
quietly into the dungeon
A slave to what has become me
Walls that retracted
Now are reinacted,
I have loved for the last time,
Taking back what is mine.
