forbearance: the final vocalization

you taught me

that i was

someone amazing divine

i thought dreams

were noble

but i was the one that was blind

exodus

mimicry

led me to the ends of the earth

absconding

yet lonely

denying original worth

the ashes

are scattered

and i cannot manage to fly

don't leave me

agnostic

awake and asleep paralyzed

all that i had wanted to say

i will relinquish because i

will live the responsible life

i drove by

our old place

and gazed at that same piece of sky

there's nothing

familiar

no capsules to venerate time

the blade meets

my heart

bestowing me desolate peace

one day i

will learn to

give up on ethereal dreams
