I was gone long ago
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today is not a day
Tomorrow leaves a shadow
Of yesterday's respite
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Forever is never mentioned
in the freedom of Now
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Worlds are torn apart
in the blink of an Eye
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Measurements are irrelevant
No ruler is required
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time is subjective
Internally projected
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mass Consciousness
is both a Blessing and a Curse

Rain, pour over me.
Fill me with coldness
That digs from within.
Wash away my fears.
Wash away my pains.
Wash away my tears.
'Coz all I want to feel,
Is happiness after you came.
All I want to see,
Is rainbow after you're drained.

When I asked you to fix me,
You told me I wasn't broken.
But, let this soak in.
I just wanted to know,
If i was still a pretty enough picture to be worth, agonizing over a puzzle.
Even when it's a struggle.
And you have to nuzzle each piece into place,
Kissing the pieces bent out of shape,
Searching for pieces gone missing,
But you can't make a raisin back into a grape.
Yes, I Remember your middle name
And who says we can't celebrate failure?
Don't be sad, we tried, we tried.
When you write your story in the sand it washes away with the tide.
It isn't our fault.
We may have cut ourselves open, But we didn't ask for the salt in our
wounds
Can I still say "we"?
I guess you're kind of done with me.
I don't blame you, Puzzles are frustrating.
they're a tease.
Please, tell me I haven't lost the most important piece.
Tell me I haven't lost
you.
