The Hourglass Runs Fast - Irrelevant

Rest in the comfort of a world I never knew,

if we even make it standing.

Tomorrow and always

and with half a mind in two,

how did we make it so far through?

With bare feet bleeding in

horror but I couldn’t quite see it.

Skin holds so simple.

With flesh redundant

I’ll shed the shame but the stink of it

still holds.

So strangle

the pulse till nothing even hums and the rest will have to come.

Burying the replica

of the world I stumbled through.

All I have to make is for the few

that held me high on

shoulders just to help me cross

Their bare feet bleeding in honour

but I couldn’t quite see 'till now.

Skin holds so simple.

With flesh redundant

I’ll shed the shame but the stink of it

still holds.

So strangle

the pulse till nothing even hums and the rest will have to come.

Comforting, stray thoughts begin to alleviate

and celebrate one thought breathing to another one

Already been and gone.

It only lasts for so long.

Already been and gone.

I’m guessing after that, 'so long'.

And when all’s said and done,

you know the best is yet to come.
