Intoxicated with grief
Numb to all
Stumbled here
Not living
Not comprehending
time is passing
Without you
Life is passing
Without you
I am passing
Piece by piece
Eroding
Dead to what is now
Chained to what was
At one time beautiful
Haunted in emptiness
A silence
Whispers without voice
Smoke’s hint without flame
Gone
which had been
Into Nowhere’s abyss
By time
Time pays no mind
It conquers
Making all kneel
In time
bending to it
helpless
witnessing those broken by it
Weary, dumbfounded, beaten
To realities unbearable
The last call
We march drunk
Clutching hopes elixir
Nursing this one
And pleading for another
