Hush

I reach for the hollow horizon
I reach for the bitter stars
Bleeding unto oblivion

Hush.

Listen to the sounds of the city, my angel
And let them carry you away
Listen to the laughter of the ghosts that surround you now
My angel, you aren't the one to blame.

Blue eyes so lackluster you wonder
How beauty of any kind could possibly exist
You wonder about the last moments of a life
You aren't sure you ever truly lived.

So I watch you...hush.
I watch your heart melt away
In the arms of that craved; self-destructive rush.

My angel, you reach for the dreams wrapped in darkness
You reach for the horizon your pulse anemic like broken butterfly wings
Just one more second sweetheart, and you'll be one with the moon...

I promise you.

I reach for the hollow horizon
I reach for the twilight as it bleeds into one
A never ending span of eternity
And never ending as even in death
My soul lives on.

    This is just heartbreaking. As always, I can put myself into your work and feel it, which is a sign that it is well-written, and it feels like letting go somehow.

    I came back to read this and...

    "You reach for the horizon your pulse anemic like broken butterfly wings"

    Wow. That's a very powerful line.
