Eternity

Nudged up to the sound of a pin-drop and sat up to terrible silence, but the ringing in his head was non-stop

Replaying in a dream so distraught, he though he'd felt love but it turned out not

His brain played the delicate strings of his heart, a symphony so unresolved

But the window ten floors up is a painting of the early morning orange skyline

Swirling thoughts and memories are paled and dimming beside his involuntary movements

The routine reared its head but what shattered by his sinking stomach

Screaming out for freedom, a selfless expression of freedom, and a surefire way to break the tedium

And so he climbed up, his legs were shaking with the cold wind biting at his toes, and for a moment he stopped

Uncertainty engraves this life

Eternity follows close behind
