Living In False Eternity

I walk through my valley in ignorance, 

The path I walk ever changing its direction, 

From light to dark, from deep to heart; 

I looked forward. Everything swirls and blurs, 

A perfect blend between light and dark. 

I see clearly up to one step forward, 

And take paths winding. 



Thoughts compelling me to move forward; I look back, 

I see clearer for miles, but I've hardly moved. 

Yet in reality I'm pushed towards the unknown, 

Ghost of paths I should've taken. 

I spy with my little eye something beginning with death. 



Descending into silence, 

The obsession is in us all. 

You are the drug that inhales me, 

Yet I live to watch you fall. 



I walk forward now in the path of regret, 

Seeing mirrors surrounding facing back. 

Sun gleams on what should've been. 



Flowers of past, withered and trampled upon; 

My eyes comforted by something new, 

A rose, the deepest red you could see or feel 

I wonder how to approach. 



Hundreds of paths of purity gleam in front of me, 

I decipher whether to approach the idyllic. 

As I walk the path turns brown, nothing seen before, 

I set my hand upon the flower; 

It changes colour making me feel like God. 



My hands are bound in red 

My hands are bound in red 

All I see is green 



I open my arms and it consumes me, 

A new power rushes through my veins. 

The strength in my chest has gone, 

But everywhere else thrives.
