Could ever understand something that’s already gone and spent
Is it me or is it the world that is the broken one that withers away?
Too late living here the same never was an option anyway

“The hands that cradled your face and tilted it upwards to kiss your forehead are soaked in unfathomable quantities of blood.”
“But they cradled me, yes?”

Unborn life, unfulfilled wishes,
Tragic dreams at the edge of the universal darkness that could never come true,
Indwell my body, and descend unto this world.

If I am to be an ocean, you have nurtured me into a pond. My waters are shallow and murky, and I yearn for more perspective.

Their lives will always be one year, one week, one day short, but it doesn’t seem to matter much to them. They live anyway. They love anyway. Forgive an old god for wanting a piece of that for himself.
