Chimes in the Hollows

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.
