The PlanK

walkin towards what might be my last step

stomach turned wild from my hearts beat

this path, this plank, made not to forgive

memories sweep through me

like a sharp knife directed at my soul

ohh so many things ive seen

so much ive cared for, so much taken,lost.

buried down deep, sinking into oblivion

A sense of change that cant be corrected

The sense of nothingness,nothing but tragedy

I gripped onto what once was a dream

trying to awaken it.. instead I’d forgotten it all

Sealed and sent off into the waves

Running voilently, freely.

Timid to return, this place consumed with so much pain

my heart cried out into the dark, echoing

the smoke signal died down as i sat,as i waited.

Finally reaching a turning point

but i was left with nowhere to go

I’ll never forget my path, this plank

concealed with beauty, hiding the ugly truth.

Lost at sea as the cold attacked my body like a plague

i lay motionless, eyes begining to grow heavy

like the love trapt inside me, weighing me down

I let go of everything, sinking to my doom

sinking towards my last breathe

to the only place i know is real

Sent off violently, freely.

This current, made not to forgive

but to take and to be lost in.
