When replaced with robots, clones of Adam, better than we ever believed. No need for Eve.
Faces planted to screens, conversations with the dead, no longer held obscene. What you mean to me.
I’m a place, adrift in celestial rifts, spent grace on worldly things. More valuable than you.
This will all end in heartache.
No more of the pain I can take.
The somewhat naive strolling into the sunset. A hurried escape.
Once an embrace, now separate ways.
You can count on me to keep watch, glue in my pocket and close guard of the clock.
This will all end one day.
In heartache.
I want you to save me. Gone for a moment, to live in eternity. Looking-glass-self. Become someone else.
Strange to see you here now. Wayward travelers spanning lost freedoms, now one with the world. Closing in.
Small enough to see the end.
Comparing how I felt. All of those precious moments competing at once. For a single moment.
You’ll forget me when I leave this place.
This curtain hides me well, drapes around my wrists, where they once became fists. Tired of the relentless beating of my own defects. Much softer around my neck.
Hidden until eternity comes.
I get it why people get dogs, write break-up songs, I get it all.
I see why we fight, regardless of who’s right- how you feel.
Don’t we just pretend to
care?
Why it was never that simple.
I get that now.
I see the daylight rise while breathing out those we’ve lost.
I get it all.
Where the coffee pursed my lips, the mirage of October waiting in the wings.
And I get why we play dress up, trick or treat, lie to ourselves, lie to our friends.
I mistook our lies for friendship.
How expendable we are.
The beginning never resembles the end.
I almost forget why I came. And I don’t feel the same.
It breaks my heart to know what we left on the table.
Why we gave it away.
I get it, I get it, I get it all now.
14 years, endless tears. God bless all who can’t forget.
I don’t care about conspiracy theories.
I just know a lot of people died.
One day lost but holding on, our consciousness blown, people glued to TV sets, wasted, petrified.
Why was I alive- alone, but watching planes fall from the sky?
The deadening roar, silenced by just a small moment in time.
Smoke billows, bodies falling from windows, children without mom,
wishing they stole an extra hug, no more goodnight kisses from dad.
Looking out the front door for parents, left to the earth- madness from people who couldn’t feel remorse,
Americans with clenched fists just left feeling mad.
My mind allowing me to care for those I’ve never met,
feeling worse for those alive who can’t forget,
wishing we could all rewind,
or just escape.
Seeking that last breath
Fearing the worst
wasn’t what you thought It’d be
how the skin stretched
In the silence, was the last place you looked
All i ever wanted, no space left for rent in my mind
You say we were haunted
but I was the only one sticking around
()
And all we ever wanted
Just believe
And it’s real
If i had what i wanted
How would i know?
And would i care?
No one ever told me
The last breath, the only one that counts
Climbing the walls
Where the only way is down
The last breath
And the wreckage left behind
The remains that scatter the ground
My life In the real world
You want to see, just what you wanted to see
That won’t make things right
What you believe, when the whole world sold you out
Where i found u
The silence dissolves
What it took to break the calm
We were bound to
The moment we evolved
darkness becomes you
The selfish self-love
can you concede?
I am finally me.
I don’t look the same,
skin is fresh
of a newborn child.
Innocence-
a finish line.
And now, new tape to brake.
No need to escape.
I am reborn.
