I never thought I’d wake to see the day
Where everything I ever wanted
Finally found a place to stay.
Every dream I ever saw
Within my reach
Close enough to taste
I felt it in the way my blood flowed through my veins. In the way my heart knocked against my ribs. With every inhale so fresh, reluctant to release.
My cup overflowed and then it spilled.
Cracks apparent, etched in glass.
Scrapes and bruises, silence that lasts.
The light ahead began to fade.
Everything I ever wanted, everything I had made.
The vessel that wasn’t mine to have.
The nightmares it consumed.
The story has been overwritten.
All the pieces are brand new.
And all you are is forgotten.
Now the air is heavy.
The truth is sinking in.
A shred of hope says you can always try again.
