Through tired eyes,

These years take yours and mine

As all my wasted time birthed a war inside

Destroy the lines, 
leave no place to hide

Cross out the days

Dissolving into memories

To race against unhappiness 

This isolation turning over in my heart

It's only blindness that keeps us apart and 
alone

Sadness waits in the shell of our futures

To move inside the end

Through dust and dirt, 

I've held my breath

Carried in a current

In my own head

Cursed by the shades that have promised unrest

As my hands reach for all that is left

Swallowed in the mouth of the sun

And held captive by absence 

Fevered in the silence that grows underground

As waters rose and left me to drown

Withering; a seemless decent

Held captive by absence
