Hear the ringing
Of a tiny golden hammer
On the steel back of a blade
How the confident and vivid echoes roll
As it strikes away at seconds in my soul
Every swing sends
Little shivers up my spine
For the name he carves is mine
Such a tedious affair to tell a tale
But I know those words and numbers very well
And the feeling
It’s the finitude of living
On the knife edge of a fate
Waiting patiently
In the wings of staying busy
For the last remaining date
While the hammer keeps it pace
In an absent sort of pulse
A rehearsal for the day
They will lay me in the dust
And the words will be my name
With the story of my time
Written deep within the stone
All the things that I have done
And the hammer keeps it’s pace
Such an unfamiliar friend
Like a harbinger of grace
For a swiftness of our end
All the words will be our own
And the story we have made
Written deep within the stone
All the things that we have done

What a thought. Thank you for posting this.
well as usual wonderful thought……. 🙂
wow, u send shivers through my body.
Don’t have a worry
I’m not giving up
We don’t have to bury
This love, this is just a hiccup
I won’t accept defeat
I definitely won’t quit
I’m not taking a seat
Though this is difficult I must admit
We say we’re good
At being patient
This is just our
Chance to prove it
Keep your head up
Because I’m pushing through
I don’t care how tough
I’m going to work as hard as I need for you
I’ve accepted and come to terms
That it may be a very very long time
But great treasure holds great worth
And great worth takes a lot of work
Don’t have a worry
I’m not giving up
We don’t have to bury
This love, this is just a hiccup
I won’t accept defeat
I definitely won’t quit
I’m not taking a seat
Though this is difficult I must admit
But you can be sure
That I don’t quit
And I’m being patient
I love you and it’s worth it
To know that one day
It will all be okay
Is not much consolation
When you seem to have lost all sensation
Even though it’s not the end
It still hurts to miss your closest friend
Believe me, I understand
You’re not alone even though your day is not so grand
I’m so sorry this is rough
I know it caused a lot of pain just to love
I wanted to go
The keys in my hand
I wanted to drive
Never to return
I wanted to leave
The things in my head
All that we did
Back in the past
I wanted to go
Hide in the storm
Follow the clouds
Get myself out
I tried to forget
But I haven’t yet
I have to admit
It’s hard to quit
When a love like this
Feels unstoppable
As I clinched my fist
And tried to resist
But a love like this
Feels unstoppable
I have to admit
I couldn’t give in
I wanted to take
All my mistakes
Turn them to stakes
I could impale
All of these faces
Calling me out
Telling me I
Am planning to fail
I wanted to hurt
Everything else
Drive them away
All by myself
I wanted to burn
The poems I wrote
Back when I smiled
I used to know
A love like this
Is unstoppable
I clinched my fist
And tried to resist
But every song
And every photograph
Makes me long
For a love like that
And since I know
It’s what I have
I guess that I
Can’t give up yet
