beginning ends

it's taking over and consuming
churning yearning burning
inside my brain
and i'm feeling like leaving it all behind
letting go of the reins
sending you my name
to repeat over and over when i'm gone
take my hand one more time
and let your lips brush against my fingertips
call me yours outside your brain
listen to the raindrops as they spell the
name of this game
do you understand the pitter patter of footsteps
that fall on creaky old floors
do they mean to you what they mean to me
can you hear them?
do you look at the stars and wonder if i'm looking at the same one you are
wishing hoping dreaming praying when i remember how
to pray
there's one more day
but i no longer want it
i'm content to let it all slip away
and breathe in the last breath
the last breath
the last breath
finally
