Peace

I didn’t want to get old with her
Light of my World
watch her
slide a day deeper into the abyss
the best of her disappear
beyond the point of no return
couldn’t find enough indifference to her fate
enough peace to live with it like a man

I would rather get blind
I would rather hit the wall
I would rather break myself down into building blocks of pain
than watch my dream vanish
I need a lie
I need a lie as big as they come
