Gone

Time

s t o p s


 

This moment,

golden


 

Before 

it 

all

 goes 

away


 

Before you 

fall,

there’s a time

where you’re ever so high,

and your life

passes through your eyes


 

Before you

fall,

there’s a light

that’s ever so bright,

and your mind

can rest once again


 

In this moment,

I can only watch.

As you

fall.


 

In this moment,

I can’t do anything.

I can’t 

stop


 

Why is it that enlightenment

only comes before you fall?

Why is it that you fly

before they end it all?

Why are you only at peace

in the moment before you’re gone?

Why does time stop here

in the moment before you’re

gone?

    a chance

    to be free

    a chance to see a woman be

    something new and

    different

    I have a plan

    I am

    I am

    I’m running so fast

    going nowhere

    just going

    forever

    I won’t stop to catch my breath

    I won’t stop for life or death

    I’ll keep going

    going

    going

    I know

    pitiful laughs and lies

    and joys and cries

    and love and skies

    that are most breathtakingly

    blue


     

    I know

    the good and sad

    the ugly and bad

    the boiling mad
