Place of Fall

Some find relief in solitary confinement
And others cherish the thought of being alone
I am but a weary soul craving for cessation and realignment
Waiting for greater powers to break this vestigial bone

Some are inclined to love and prosper
Relinquished control begets their duty to forget
I am built to loathe and falter 
Borrowed time yields unreason; forever in sorrow’s debt

Some seek higher meaning in reason’s domain 
Pity is the holder of divine understanding
I am a blemish that marks a desolate plane
Debasement is my steadfast tool for disbanding

Solace rests in a certainty embraced by one and all 
To the place from which we came and from which we must depart 
Eternal silence take stead and imbue my place of fall
Reprieve me of my ambling spirit and wandering heart
