The reocurring, constant reminders
Of the inability to outlast mortality
Piece by piece
The grains of sand trickle away
Another night falls
Another temporary absence
Dilated eyes, fixed to adjust
Set to adjust
To the radiating, blinding light
Subjected to a flawless sequence
Impeding and trespassing
Locked and shackled in a burning cycle
Unable to break free
Sealed within an inescapable rhythym
Failure at every attempted endeavor
Permanent abandonment unimaginable
This is now
This is forever.
