Literature Text

The world will unite us
Until the day we die.
Until the day comes when
We can no longer pretend.
We can no longer live in the illusion
That we are allowed to fall apart
Without repercusion.
~~~
In this twilight I have found nothing more
Than the stars I will continue to reach for
The ones I will hope one day
Will be a corporal form
That I can touch
Just as I once touched you
The way I once felt your lips upon mine
Only to taste trageties
~~~
Fate laughs at me
Because she knows I will once again
Bleed out onto the concrete
She knows I will waste every breath
And every wish I'm given
For this one moment.
Because I've been longing for this moment
A moment I didn't realize was perfect
Until it had been lost.
~~~
Lined up amongst the skeletons
By the base of the oak
I have watched the folage die
I have watched the months fall away
And grow into years
Just as the leaves have fallen to their deaths
In this frost bitten paradise
~~~
These places will stand apart
in their own segment of time
Lost from our world
So that we can be the only ones
To walk alongside our memories
As they play before our eyes.
~~~
As I walk along this revine
I replay the winter
That left me cold.
I wonder, so desperately
How we can cross the bridge
To bring back the dead
Into the realm of the living
