An Imploding

As I lie here, 'mongst these empty teardrops
Of causality
I fear that fate draws ever near
In this reality

But in this sunset
In this dawn
The hope of all regret is past
In this ash we sculpt as song
We think something must finally last

How can we profess to see
The ways we lose our sight
We, the wanderers, the free
Who think that in the night betwixt beginning and its end
   Is all temporal reverberation wending its way
   In, of, and by a fray of darkness

Choose between true choice and fate
For either way, your choice is fake

Blind lead blind; when sightless see
Reality's to blame for seeking more than what it hopes to be
   Why can't I seem to see these days
   When darkness spans the way between myself and something else I can't quite be
   I'll stay
     Where hope envelops all I am
     Potential fills all hollow men
     And sand falls down between small shapes of glass
     Time passes by
     And life is no more a becoming
      Dust to dust
      And ash to ash
     But an overcoming
      Star to star
      As they fall
        Countless
            Farther
              Down
      From endless skies
