Never Last
He stood alone arms raised high
Felt as if he could touch the sky
Looked around and saw his past
Nothing there can ever last
Moving smoothly like a ghost
Looking once, twice at most
Felt the wind go thru his bones
Everybody faceless drones
In the valley between the trees
Head down he's on his knees
Eyes wide open head thrown back
Hard to see in such pitch black
Memories standing in the rain
Faces twisted full of pain
Reaching out to touch the night
Memories flutter taking flight
Pushed beyond the breaking point
His wish was never to disappoint
The truth is always darker still
Hands tied up no time to kill
Wishes died and murdered hope
Swinging twisting at end of rope
Thoughts impaled time harassed
Memories outline never lasts
