For years I ran from it all As if locking up the thoughts In dark quiet rooms would Somehow stop them My last full night I was ten years old And the curtains made a shadow on the wall I was there alone listening to the wind Watching as the shadow turned into an image I cannot forget
It comes to all of us although I never thought so soon I am angry at myself now for finally noticing this world about me In these moments...I feel awake for the first time I hang to each heartbeat Each inhale is heavy in my lungs Here I am at the end without the words to describe The beauty of all that is around me The gust of wind against the window The house creaks around me Crickets outside chirping incessantly They are my only witnesses Will the blast from this shotgun silence them for a moment ?
Ive wasted enough time I loved deeply I believe I take comfort in this It is quiet now So quiet here at the end No music, no band playing It's time now
