Chapter 9 - The Breaking Dawn

The breaking dawn draws our shadows closer again

Like the hazy memories freed from our minds' chain

 

In the lines of your palm, you read a twisted tale

Promises still waiting their fulfillment without fail

 

Along the birthed rays, we weave white lies after lies

We relive a circle of meetings and goodbyes

To fill the emptiness and loss that bind us now…

***

The crystal sky mirrors your flickering reflection

And will not respond to my prayers for protection

 

In the light of your eyes, many tales reside

Of the dreadful silence you had to abide

 

This pain drags our feet on a long road without forgiveness

Remorse drifts our paths further

Only our fragile heartbeats give our souls the sign of aliveness

***

You still cannot hear my call despite the silence of the night

I revisit your shadow in the depths of my mind

Amidst the maze of blame and longing, a spot of light…

***

Running into the embrace of a wavering dawn

Still to be, reaching us from the morning warmth none

Yet, in foolishness we continue to wake up and run

Wishing for a gentle rain that wipes all that is gone
