The world is still
My world won't shake
The concert halls are standing hall
The singers make us weep
Steps stay steady
Quietly they plead
For a crack in the pavement
To break a back or two
There are distant things
Screaming like a memory
And they remind me of what I used to be
Not even a year ago
Snow's become a nuisance
Traffic's a concern
I'll partake now and then
Maybe if I find the mood
Or maybe the mood will find me
And enslave me once again
Like it used to do
Not even a year ago
I feel a little less
With every passing tic
And what a life this is
What is it I make of it?
It's really not much of anything
Aside from the normal
Of which I have never been
Not even a year ago
But what I do desire?
Something to tear my life apart
To make me feel again,
Like I once did
Not even a year ago
Someone to demolish me
To make me hurt like before
To justify my longing
To break me into pieces
Somebody to long for
That I can love and hate away
To give for, to protect
To try and try and try
A girl to fight away the quiet
And settle all my doubts
The she that will complete me
And undoubtedly kill me a second time
My world may end, and I as well
But maybe I'll prevail
And beauty will be my downfall.
