LILITH (When Time Says No)

LILITH – When Time Says No

I stood where voices fell apart

Wind chilled and froze me in place

You stepped out from the open dark

And the black closed in and held its shape

You never forced me to bow down

You never pushed me to the floor

You sealed the split across my skin

And showed the night my shape

The ground beneath me fell away

No hand reached out to hold me up

I tripped past stone and empty air

And nothing called for me to stop

Nothing breaks here

Nothing lets go

I learned what remains

When time says no

I am still here

I am still here

I stepped across the bodies laid

Boots pressed ash into the ground

My hands came back without a mark

Their blood stayed where it fell and dried

Nothing breaks here

Nothing lets go

I learned what remains

When time says no

I am still here

I am still here

I turned and left the street behind

No sound followed where I went

Doors stayed open when I passed

The dead did not guess where I was bound
