difference be my broken heart

it's begging me to take it apart

tightening vices, i tried to over come

but failure remains, and it is done

close your eyes, and come, into me

i'll be reflection, i'll show you what could have been

i sent myself away

i was to be punished

i alone was made to pay

this was not for me

i was not to see

the broken thing you would have me be

there comes through a voice

echoes ringing within a void

the hour peaks

the waters recede

pulling back

and there i see

the smoke lifts

and i am left standing

the eventual disintegration of all the things that i hold sacred

how the fuck am i to face this

fire envelopes me

consuming everything

in it's wake is it...

at it brightest

in the twilight

i am free

of this

my eyes soften as they meet the west

i disappear in the warmth of the sunset

waters crash in the depths beneath me

you

never

knew

me
