We Loved the Earth but Could Not Stay

This flesh is so fragile

Watching it break

Feeling it so slowly

Withering, coming down

Distress from beating hearts

Worried of coming apart

The light always lets you go

Sleep

Will always let you go

You

Can always let me go

Reach out to his repressed truth

Crucify his love for solitary domains

Flailing in the destruction of everything I knew

Turned upon the head and left to burrow in the ink of what had been damned to remain

All too often the burden of condemnation lends itself to the futility and ruin of constricted knees left collapsed and bent before your feet

The light always lets you go

Sleep

Will always let you go

You

Can always let me go

Dreams

Will only always let you go

And when the clock calls out

You, in deepest regret

Will have to let go

We must go alone
