Disconnected Planet

Lying for the light of a sun that set Distance disconnected Spending every breath to be in its sight Resistant but infected Forgetting who we are just to hide from pain A hate for our own past Remembering the night that laid our dying dreams Too late to pray it won’t last Winter went and came as our summers died The lovers spoke of truth but every sentence lied Night became accustomed to deceiving thought The day far too naïve to know what this had brought Over-thinking starts to power up the wings of loss Another dying perception Over-using begs to claim a hold on a holy cross Done trying deception Love was distant but so was hate Far too tired, distant, drawn from this patient wait Pain was overspent and so was fear The devil and the god are falling far from here Numb and still alone and always lost Forgetting what to breathe and why there is a cost Fading into apathy, betrayed attempts Waiting for the end but still held in our own contempt
