Today my words ache tomorrow the pain will still remain years from now will i remember his face? will that laugh lose its brilliance in time's embrace? I choke down these tears cause my heart won't refrain I cling to that love that still remains sobering is the thought of death yet seductive are the thoughts of its embrace will these emotions stay with the body i escape or will they chase me through this cosmic race? does my soul have eyes? will i still witness beauty? Is there any in this earthly prison here? colors have bled to gray no more do i welcome the winds of sage and conversation is better left to the birds will i again yearn for a lover's embrace? this shadow of numbness eternal as the sun's rays I wish for sleep on this wreckage of a day
