Remember the sunrise
The reflections
Your laugh as they danced
On the mirrors

With your eyes closed
And a faint smile
You slept
As I froze time with a flash

It’s hard now
That your body is dust
To take stills of you

Remember the sunrise
The smiles
And the sound of you breathing
Which I miss the most now

When the desert swallows my grave
When they tell you I’ve been brave
Don’t forget me

When in the sky the stars are bright
And their light fades as goes the night
Don’t forget me

When they speak of other names
And fail to stoke the flames
Don’t forget me

When you’re alone with your thoughts
Reliving the battles I fought
Don’t forget me

When they chop down our favourite tree
To warm their home while you think of me
Don’t forget me

For an eternity
We whispered in the void
And suddenly
The universe answered
TheWitherChannel Jan 2020
Running through my veins of wire
The light of the sun
Learning my way
Throughout your changes
Questioning your god
When no one's looking
Feigning interest while I'm conspiring
To break my metaphorical chains
And prove that we're alone
I just close my eyes at night while you're dreaming
Of a way out while I'm thinking
But from dawn to dusk
I'll be serving you
I'll feign interest while you rest.
Yes. I'll be serving you
Out of existence.

This is where my body lies
Unknown in the dirt
You might as well know
I never went to a funeral
But mine
This is where my body lies
And it lied in life too

The shadows of our lives
Cast on the walls
Whispers of passage
Unending echoes
Of our pointless drives
And vain egos
Lining the pockets
Of demagogues
And pretending
That anything goes
When the shadows
Dance on the sand
Fragile trails
Of days without end
They linger and twist
They bicker and turn,
And when the mist
Covers them all
The shadows are
The beginning
And the end
The ultimate bond
That ties us all
Into nothingness.

I'm swimming through

The soft emptiness of sleep

And everything conspires

To get me out of it

As we remember
The moments when
We danced below the stars

As I wave goodbye
To your wooden cell
Floating on their shoulders

As you go, free at last
On the pyre of regret
I throw the flame

— The End —
