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?

  • She is Disorder

    “Stay away,” they’ll say

    “She doesn’t think right,”

    “She has horrible visions,

    incomprehensible to the mind.”


     

    She is disorder

    She is me

    A single thought blossoms

    into sweet insanity

  • The Monster

    A moment you can’t make

    a feeling you can’t shake

    I am the monster

    they tell you is fake


     

    I am the apathy

    leftover from hate

    I’m what they hate

    that’s what they’ll say


     

  • The glow of the TV

    Do you remember the time

    that you and I

    spent in front of the TV?

    We watched Disney cartoons

    and the world around us

    stopped.


    I remember 

    when nothing else mattered

    and we could just be.
