She dances
In a lace dress
On the edge of the abyss
A child older than possible
A woman defined by time
And injustice
Falling
Not falling
It's all the same here
In eternity
The captain honors
Her dance
And she dies a thousand deaths
Before she dies
Another language
Another custom
Another day
Tedium
Boredom
Death
The seas claim another soul
In
Absenteeism
Beauty
Horror
Waves
Shock waves
Through my heart
My soul
My life
Responsibility
Faded colors
that bleed
into the soul
Faded commitment
that bleeds
into my heart
Wither or not
Without
the colors are all wrong
and the wind blows from within
wreaking havoc on my heart
and the spaces in between
indecision
in utero
in decisive
improper
the plaything decides not to play back
the future looks dark indeed
the decisions of our forefathers weigh
on minds devoid of conscious thought
the bruises hide well
the evidence of hatred and sin
wreaking havoc on my life
and the relationships within
Breathe in the words
the meaning of my, life
Single handed obsession
Regard digression
Close my eyes
takes me back
Close your eyes
Take you away
There is no common ground
There is nothing to share
There is nothing left here
Be on your way
Breathe in the meaning
The words of my, life
Single handed digression
Disregarded obsession
I evacuate the location
Of my current state of mind
Relocated within
And without reason
Close my eyes
Close your eyes
Take us
away
we used to make a spark
we had a fire burning
between us
but now there is only chilly air
and the distance grows
between us
I tried to make the connection last
but selfishness proves too strong
I tried to give in but I gave up
and nothing will ever last this long
without
a decent
connection
I read your letter
it's stuck in my head
I felt the words you wrote
I felt the dread
And the scene you described to me
And the tale you decided to tell
shook me up
The elders at the table
with the flowers so blue
The decision to fall from
Heights beyond me and you
the crushing blow
the end of the breath of life
the devastation
the endless strife
I read your letter
and I cried more than a tear
I read your letter
and now I'm here
at the edge of the ledge of eternity
a step away from redemption
A breath away of uncertainty
and literal freedom
I step back
and punish all
who stay alive
