It's 2 am
my mind begins to drift
it's then when her face races across its horizon
like a sunrise in all it's beauty
I can only imagine how bright it would be
as I drift off to sleep
only to dream
that her mind wanders off
thinking of me

I want to see how easy it is to break... to fall
to know what it's feels like
when it has become impossible to stand up
it's this same defeat
that's settled in the despair of loneliness that intrigues me
how a human spirit can be so starved
and defeated by its own transgressions
while simultaneously surrendering its will and desires
just to watch them crumble down a slippery *****
inevitably leading to death
not by separation of the body but of the soul
I want to feel that defeat but not out of self-pity
out of pure, anxious curiosity
I find comfort in the reassurance of this predetermined state
since I know where I'll be at the end of that slippery *****...

                                               alone.

I believe there's a soothing peace
that creeps through your veins
you can feel it in your bones
this indescribable feeling of warmth
that comes in a flash of lightening
like the flickering of a light
that illuminates the soul

In that moment of clarity your eyes are opened
as though they were awoken from an eternal sleep
this unconquerable feeling of courage explodes within you
the human spirit is utterly helpless to this impenetrable force
that transcends your soul to a blissful solace of serenity
where just being alive doesn't suffice
for the heart has finally found its home
built on the foundation of its true purpose
to  love
passionately, genuinely and wholeheartedly
without reason or by circumstance
I believe in that single moment,
one truly begins to live
