Dilapidated

Fall at your own feet
as subsided as you wanted to push me
Choke on your breath
as mine was to be taken

You cannot control Me

Fall at your own feet
live as obscure as you tried to hold me
Tie your arms around the blocking concepts,
blind and forsaken

You cannot hide Me

Fall at your own feet
as undeserving as you saw me
Stomp self to the ground,
swallow your own bitter token

You cannot stop Me

Fall at your own feet
eat your greed and resentfulness
Rip it apart, bleed it;
Live it!
Know you're broken

You cannot keep Me

So, Suffocate on your own End
[lose it, go away]

Nothing between us is left to mend
[leave it, die away]

Temple Dilapidated,
Learn Actions Consequence Trend
 
Fall from Tall;
Crawl to Small,
my "Friend".
