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
