Point of No Return
I'm past the point of no return
the dotted line gets broken
fail safe isn't an option
with my heart laying out in the open
the past shrinks in the distance
it fades in all its glory
how could I have missed this
the storyline to this story
I see the ocean crashing
under now blood red skies
lightning flashes closely
with thunder rumbling nearby
I seal it with a kiss
as I view all of its destruction
what echos in the emptiness
like a song without conduction
I climb the ladder without success
a poetess at a loss for words
I bow my head in silence
and pray without accord
you had me from the beginning
but I got lost in my part
nights grow long and lonely
while my heart sings in the dark
