Perilous

An ode to those
Drowning in a sea of dreams
The few that know
The feeling

Something always missing
Sheer pressure of existing

When the emptiness comes
It's hard to be whole
You have been replaced, although
It's bitterness that linger, in the place you once called home

Lost in the garden
Where only darkness seems to grow

The sight that captivates, amiss
Stealing a breath
The eyes that resuscitate
In the bloom of death
No, you are never alone

Lost in the garden
Where only darkness seems to grow
Lost in the garden
Where only darkness seems to grow
You are not alone

Waiting for the feathers to fall
Drag your feet, hang your head, walk along the walls
In this labyrinth of thorns
What is left? What is right?
Where memories are born - just to lose their light

The hand that led you here is not to blame
The grip, the warmth, the smile, the fear

Something always missing
The iron in the name

It was always hidden, can't you see?
When I disappear, promise that you'll find me
Where the sky and ocean meet
