Lost to the Living

A monument Of failure A testament To an unfailing will Against the sky stands our cathedral A picture of our isolation In the dark we must build an answer At any cost Measured symmetry Belies desperation An attempt to write in stone The dreams of the young Against the sky stands our cathedral A picture of our isolation In the dark we must build an answer A pillar to our fleeting solace Against the sky stands our cathedral Clutching at the passing time It was built to be an answer Take from it what you can

Vacant gazes of the rank and file Minds in atrophy Surging numbers of indifference Do you exist Or appear to be All of you Brimming with this stale life The dream is over The dream is dead this time Your dream is dead this time Sunken faces, shallow listless lives Currents of lethargy Detached masses, in their sleep Recall the anguish That once sustained

Muted familiar fragrances Distant fleeting recollections This beauty I had come to know Shatters Then recedes In brittle air Aimless vagrant waters Draw me out with the tide Gasping, slowing descending Screaming toward the shore Painful persistent images Disrupts my sleep Intrudes in dreams Faint droning echoes within the walls Veiled reminders Of regret time will hold

A subtle light Frays and scatters Shadows calling down Alluding to the days I forgot why I left I thought I'd be the one to last alone The vespers chime Distant hours Softly questioning Each step that I have taken

Blurred and pale I saw your face As my body rests Everything has languished But the sense Of a memory fading The morning light So thin I feel it breaking It crosses the wall Towards my body The wall above I saw it changing In the morning light Emptiness expanding Wounds kept fresh Through careful tending
