You remember it Can’t you? The lighted whispers in the dark When the hope in life Wasn’t built to fall apart You feel it Can’t you? The reverberations within Collapse of dead wishes Dreams adjourning before they begin You hear it Can’t you? That silence once more Louder than screams Hearts dying like mine has before You realize it Can’t you? Loss starts with your first breath Either accept defeat with smeared eyes Or smile when you encounter death
