Life was once a flare. The choices we made had a reason & everything else fell into different places. Like love and its twisted demise. The rope we followed when night came without a warning. Without even a star, or a sunset.
Believing became an untrustworthy mission. Through your eyes, you see that you've been down this certain road before. A tunnel leading west, into the greedy fields of old dirt & gravel. Through the beauty, that has now become a plague, a shiver & a cough.
The next step is the future. An undeniable identity, given to us, centuries ago. When the birds, had a life in the winds. When the pain didn't come from verbal assumptions. When the choices we made, good or bad, gave life some flare.
