The Moment
Words: Ben Christo
So lock the door,
And descend the stairs,
Spiral down into the headlights' glare.
But so I'm so afraid of the graceless truth,
And every step that leads to you.
This is the moment,
So what will you say now?
Cutting hearts and diamonds on the edge of silence.
A single word,
Her empty eyes,
The final breath before our language dies.
So incomplete,
Like the cut oblique:
The missing frames that flicker in my dreams.
Hit the lights,
I'll try to write you down tonight,
Can't define,
beyond the exit sign.
Hit the lights,
I'll try to write you down tonight,
Scars align,
so I'm heading back into the night.
