i feel it every morning, most every goddamned night
these ties so hard to sever,
descend with tired eyes into abysses forgotten,
across distant valleys scattered with the unwritten pages of our tragedy.
Lifting the veil of the subconscience and wrestling with love and the meaning of death.
“every now and then” is fairly delusive.
possibly the toll of years of self-deceit.
unsettled, unquiet, unforgiven.
please, deprive me not of this last fragment of peace.
i've stared death into the eye,
found truth in yours long after it left.
fought for long lost emotions,
and channeled those i've repressed.
i've drawn my share of hearts in the snow,
awoken from trances of violence and sex.
i confess, most of these thoughts are just better left unsaid.
all these nights do is drain me,
oh what I wouldn't give for rest.

I could look at this for hours.
I've molded you back together from the debris.
The floor is stained with the shattered words of a memory.
We could dig through the ashes and search for syllables of expressions we've neither heard nor used in quite a while.
Reassembled, they might fill us with a familiar yet distant sense of belonging.
And then again we'll paint the walls with the blood of our wounded past.
Indulge.
The walls breath more heavily than they used to.
Between them and me there are too many broken vows.
Certainly, the lights will dim eventually
with the sound of fingernails scratching on concrete
I'm leaving for good again, no goodbyes this time.
We've crossed too many oceans in vain.
But wherever I go, you will follow me, I know.
In the shadow of love death always feels so close.
I swear the part of me I left with you is the one I've always missed the most.
And as for days without thoughts of you, yes, i recall times. I recall times. I recall times. I recall times.
During others I blame it on sleep, sounds, places or maybe just a word.
