A Loss In Time...
Slow decay of physical appearance
once in life was warm
now lives a life of endless storm
loss of the skin, and soul of existence
wind runs away with sediment
outlasting, the bone takes apart time
another life of loss joins the rest
weathered and chipped, bone against bone
everything turns grey, an immortal way
nobody to talk to, no way to say
which built the wood pierces the grain with toothless jaws
different shades of white and grey turn completely black
a holocaust among men from a pulled trigger
once attacked by the mirror figure
recorded in point blank scripture
