it's
all too soon you hear that cracking sound
and the shadows come racing across the ice
softly saying it will be alright
cause
this is not the way you'll be coming back
remember
the day hell froze over?
when whispers fell like
snowflakes and the tears of the angels danced around our words
because today is a
bleeding heart pouring empathy over the cauldron of time
because today is a martyr
sleeping in the doorway of regret
because today is the twist
of lime in a glass of dust
remember the day the levee
broke?
after the demons went to
lunch grumbling about the mandatory overtime we caused
faintly in the distance
you hear the cracking
restless emotions scan the
area for shadows
no, that is certainly not
the way back
moving forward into the
past
tripping into hello when
we can’t seem to remember how to say goodbye
because today is never
coming back
