the hollow voices resonate sending trains of thought racing through my head steel wheel screech on rusted rails cars fall into crashing waves ...and im screaming out under the surface of a tranquil sea
the cold shoulders and brush offs the hospital beds and endless oceans the last sip and the breaking point
the hollow echo of footsteps the soundtrack to a grim farewell a haunting choral indication that this has gone too far
it all turns to dust, faces to shadows ,voices to echoes shapes turn to darkness, memories fade i'm left alone, asking myself who i am
pull up the anchor the dead weight holding you down staring off the bow, i get restless the open ocean beckons it's calling out for me vacillator, turncoat deceiver, thief the open ocean beckons another cold grey chance offering a hand up but i slip through the cracks
writhe and wallow in self-pity scream your lungs out until your heartstrings come with them breathe and fill your aching chest drink to forget and to heal your open wounds
do you remember when you first thought about the magnitude of it all? the image burned in your memory, revisited time and time again but as the days pass and it slips slowly into irrelevance the realization dawns, you can't lose what you never had
