I never returned home from you

I never returned home from you
As I was a mere disclaimer, a mere redundancy
I never grew up more than I should
As it measured the cues, the fallen cause

As the day approached the twilight hue
As the grace casted the slender shadow across the forest
From the balcony I saw the dispersing clouds
Those once loved me in the depth, perhaps 

I never returned home from your supplicating lips
As there was the beginning of the death, instead.
