“I Can’t Let Go Again.”

Intertwined with mine, the scent of you lingers on my skin. Yours or mine, I care not, intoxicated on our sins. Again, again, entranced, we danced to the music of our glass parade. A blurry recollection of our moonlit night, a soft infliction from affection’s flight, I mouth the words that only you can know. Falling unto stranger ears, they stand confused, while you and I hold back tears, born from years and years of nothing more than what will be. Words that spill from lips stained with ink of regret’s past, I long for times that last, no longer can I cast my line of optimism. Tired, so tired, I barely stand, again, again, again, again, I grow so mad. Step by step by step, one piece gained for two I lost. Ramblings of the husk of man, I barely stand, tired, so tired, step by step, again, again, I grab for what I can no longer keep close. Weak. I am weak.

“I’m Losing Myself.”

Entranced, I take my only steps to find myself intertwined with you. Wrapped in silk, engorged on lust, I can only do what I can. Don’t leave my fingers trailing on your skin, akin to sparks on tinder, I fall again. Lost, I trust in your delight, I lose myself for just one night, at least that’s what I keep on saying. On and on, you make me plead, more and more, you take the lead. Step by step, we love again, until we are no longer.

“Longing.”

Are you better without me?
Grasping at your thoughts within my sleep
Mixing drinks with memories
Sleep beside all the things we couldn’t be.
Again and again, mixing red and green
Wishing you could hear all of me.
Speaking words you had to see.
Alone again, I reach for you
Once again, becomes two
More and more, I never knew
How much better you’d be without me,
Then I am without you.

I’d give away everything to be with you again.

“Relinquished.”

Permanence is such a petty thing when it pertains to life. Actions we take, decisions we make, the simple choice to wake up every day is enough to make an impact that can last centuries. Yet, a single lifetime is never enough. Yearning for more, we strive to make our lives longer, grasping at just a bit more time, more, more, more. We end up living so long, only to realize that all things must end. To turn back and see that the eternity you sought was spent doing nothing.
Was it worth it?

Traced and laced, a grand design.
You play the hero, oh so fine
A decorated resolution to your own crimes
An eternity spent wanting more time.
While tears are shed from eyes turned blind
Chased and strived, for a life you sought
Without ever having second thoughts
Not once did you stop, never did you pause
With your back to the past, atop your noble cause
Further and further did you climb, a height that only you defined
Time after time, a hero of your own design
With gleaming eyes that burned so bright
When did your eyes become so blind?
