i'll never rise with the sun again

The taste of dust

Coats my tongue again

Another morning

The same gray sky

Pressing down

Nothing left to hold onto

Nothing left to want

And i'm so tired

And i'm so tired

A weariness that seeps

Into the marrow

A cold, persistent ache

The sun will rise again

A cruel, indifferent dawn

But i won't be there

To witness its arrival

I remember moments

Sharp and bright as glass shards

But they cut deeper now

Reminding me of what was

And what will never be again

No matter how much i wish

This weary soul longs for an end

A soft release
