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
