tim's Bits and Pieces - 11. Tethers
1.
Makes me sad you’ve gone away
You no longer catch me when i fall
Wish you’d just come out and say
Truth i can deal with
Silence leaves me to my own thoughts
Which are rarely filled with truth
2.
Death i want to embrace you, feel your cool breath on my face
Will you tell me there is nothing to fear?
Or will I suffer for the things that i’ve done
Sin upon sin sit in my soul; i fear my final judgement
But there is no choice but to pay the cost
There will be no rest until reparations are made
Only then will you cut the tether to my worldly anchor
3.
To her:
It shouldn’t matter why you hate me
But it does
I will never ask why, only wonder
What i did
You are superior in your mind
That won’t change
I can only wonder what and why
4.
I grow more insular each day
Choosing to keep away from here
Maybe it’s time i got up to go
Time to move on, to walk away
Maybe there'd be memories left
But it doesn’t really matter
No one cares to remember for long
That is just the stuff—the facts—of life
Things have been so hard lately
I’m tired and i just want to go
I understand why people give up
It is easier to just say no
But it is the thought of being nothing
Will i know the emptiness of the void?
That keeps me here in this life i hate
It’s fear of the unknown that holds me
