chances (break me) 5:17 A.M. concrete settles against me chilled to the wind of nightfall my eyes are open again sitting in the face of the dawn panoramic skyline to bring a smile it's been too long "I remember kissing the soft blue of daybreak once, back in the age of innocence. It yearned for my touch with a ferocity I hadn't known, and fear rode my spine into the darkness. It was the wrong time, and knowing that drove a spike in my belly, pushing me even further from the light." those were different days I wore weaker eyes midnight brought me many memories welcoming me back always when love failed, life failed always there with a blanket of rage something to carry me onward I sit here enveloped in the moment thoughts of too many broken chances dreams of what fate might have been you've read that book travelled the road you wanted to just to find the destination is a void not quite the paradise you expected I should have stayed in the light I know that now (nothing changes what was) arms folded over my knees trying to make peace with a notion to ease my soul back into life the dead said it best "what a long strange trip it's been" and here I am arms open for you don't mind the scars the dark eyes time can bring the shine back I can see by your skies you wear the damage of years just as I share them with me the darkness lost my line time to break the dawn . end .
