A Passing
Every darkness has its dwelling
Yearning for ends with no more the beginning
I have words no one will hear
I am a stranger no one stays near
I took a sip of reality
And I question my very own mortality
Answers were in half truths most the time
Yet it wasn't answers I'm lacking of to find
Minds misplace, misused and misunderstood
Only to seem familiar are minds in every neighborhood
Every footstep marking a foothold to contain a past
Relying upon trials for memories forgetting too fast
Rather... let it rain, let it snow, let it cover all we know until
Forgetting a past is afterall making space for future anew
Staying behind in present when presently is never once now
We walk ever on forward to only ever come circling back round
Wanting much more to find to yet see only the fading light
Is time with age a restful promise of eternal night?
Perhaps more rewarding when harder life can be
An outcome no more as deserving as no one can see
We who lived on argues over he who is dead
For we who awaits to die... we only knew to live too late
And we dwell ever darker into darkness given to us
Astoundingly, there is only more we would want ask
