Abeyance
As the candles yawned,
My world grew darker
'Til barely a detail remained
Parchment and smoke
Through distant chimes
Moths carried by the breeze
Her finger to my lips,
I am stilled in an instant
I sip, and I'm numbed
From here the path winds backwards
At first I see my entering
And then steps in reverse
Descent where I had climbed
To pass where I had fallen
Familiar, all is frayed
And yet I cannot abide
Beyond my eyelids, I have died
Days are merging quickly now,
Into years that spiral from my chest
They pass but leave no mark
Familiar, all is skewed
And yet I cannot reflect
Beyond my eyelids, I have died
Yet I collapse into youth
Familiar, all is frayed
And yet I cannot abide
Beyond my eyelids, I have died
I swallow forgotten words
To gain what was lost
And lose what was gained
Until neither is real
Behind my head, her hands hold no weight
I have reached a beginning,
But somehow I do not stop
I fall through the first moment
To find that there is more
As light cascades
Through the hole my body has torn
Already, it is closing
My world grew darker
'Til barely a detail remained
Parchment and smoke
Through distant chimes
Moths carried by the breeze
Her finger to my lips,
I am stilled in an instant
I sip, and I'm numbed
From here the path winds backwards
At first I see my entering
And then steps in reverse
Descent where I had climbed
To pass where I had fallen
Familiar, all is frayed
And yet I cannot abide
Beyond my eyelids, I have died
Days are merging quickly now,
Into years that spiral from my chest
They pass but leave no mark
Familiar, all is skewed
And yet I cannot reflect
Beyond my eyelids, I have died
Yet I collapse into youth
Familiar, all is frayed
And yet I cannot abide
Beyond my eyelids, I have died
I swallow forgotten words
To gain what was lost
And lose what was gained
Until neither is real
Behind my head, her hands hold no weight
I have reached a beginning,
But somehow I do not stop
I fall through the first moment
To find that there is more
As light cascades
Through the hole my body has torn
Already, it is closing
