Description
The singular current drags me underFilling my lungs with failed aspirations
And morsels of your regret
My breath comes shortly now and
Fear of success bleeds from my pores
The appetite of deceit devours me
My longing suffocates me
Frozen in my vertigo a spinning menagerie
The lonely road winds on
No surprises wait around the bend
Hope is the pamphlet blowing in the defrost
As my windows ice over.
Sinking deeper now
Pressure embraces me as I fall farther into the gloom
No one sees my deviant trail
Or hears my deadening pounds
Like my slowing heart
I'm trapped in my own narrative
No shining light will save me
I broke through that bridge not moments ago.
I whisper quietly my prayer as I am bound and gagged and dragged away to the eerie light
Watching as the picture become blurry
The ballet proceeding to the intermission
A gentle smile enfolds me
And tucks me in too tight
The callused hands of time bid me to come
I bade him let me stay but a moment longer
As I try to break free one last time
Sweat beads on my forehead raining down into my tears
Arrogance consumes me
Even in my demise I will find success
With my last breath I tear free as the singularity surrounds me
I float in the ambiguity my rage wicked away with my heart in tow
And as the sun comes over the rise my last thoughts die
I should have gone 35.
