I reflect on memories searching for solace beyond the veil
Every second like a grain of sand
Slipping through your fingers
Taken by the wind
Existence oh so frail
It occurs to me when I close my eyes
Desperate for slumber that is not
Thwarted by thoughts of mortality
Shaken to my core
My fate is unwarranted
So much unfinished business
A paradox of consciousness
Life is fleeting so I cling to my beloved
Sharp uncertainty rings throughout and weighs me down
Born waiting on bated breath
For a dance with death.

My blood inks this page
That you will never read
I had thought you might relate
Your attention was never paid
All those before me who paved the road
Showed me everything and taught me what I know
I try to pass it down and keep their spirit alive
I tried to tell you
I tried to tell you but
My word’s wasted on a silent crowd
On deaf ears my voice is crashing down
I don’t need this audience
I only ever had piercing silence
I was taught that this was all for something
You watched it burn and now it’s nothing
You didn’t fail me
You you failed yourself.
