Subsistence
It was a cold night in the city
when the fire finally burned out,
and slowly my eyes closed
as the restless dreams began.
When the fire finally burned out,
gentle embers floated in the air.
As the restless dreams began,
a palpitating song fell silent.
Gentle embers floated in the air
as firefly tails faded to ash,
and a palpitating song fell silent,
her heartstrings torn and snapped
As firefly tails faded to ash
I thought of her somewhere asleep
Her heartstrings torn and snapped
And her mind restlessly aching
I thought of her somewhere asleep,
Hiding from the lights,
And her mind restlessly aching
knowing that tears can breed
Hiding from the lights
I slowly tore open my soul
knowing that tears can breed
shards from broken memories
I slowly tore open my soul
when the city lights flickered out,
shards from broken memories
let urban veins run dry
When the city lights flickered out
thoughts and dreary intoxication
let tired veins run dry
and I stared out into the void
Thoughts and dreary intoxicationβ
It was a cold night in the cityβ
I stared out into the void,
And slowly my eyes closed.
