Claw / Crawl

Second chances for none -only wasted time Time crawls forward, grief slowly draws the line Your warmth, my phantom limb Life’s weight leaking in What waits below, i’ll find out Words of hope, never leave my mouth Death takes until the earth needs to eat The balance of power, sitting just below my feet Claws sink in, closer to the void We find our worth in the wounds of the dirt Discomfort only means I can feel This reflection hides the weight of my burdens Discomfort of a truth concealed Every second this condition worsens Crossed over to a hollow hold Introspective as a means of growing Picked apart all the treasures from the shipwreck Finding solace in a lack of knowing Wrapped in silk and a gold embrace Barreled out to an absolute atrocity Navigating through this hellish landscape Just to settle in eternal mediocrity And as the flowers retreat into seed I stare jealous at decomposition Within the wilt is a chance at rebirth A new bloom in a rising sun Tangled in it, I lost my grip I crawl back I lost myself yet I am clawing clawing I lost myself yet I am clawing back
