If Only We Sing

Another heavy dose of cyanide

Head filled with butterflies and empty space

Losing myself in the clouds

On the edge of a God complex

Luckily I'm too lazy to find the truth

The top starts its spin and ends pointing at you

Searching for the loss we'd never find

Look down on such a small world

Grind and writhe to a beat noiseless and sublime

Prophets preaching words unspoken, blind

Walls closing in; too boxed in to think outside the box

Trying to contemplate my universe this one last time

Prepare for the fall you've dreamed of

That delightful nightmare that doesn't end

Sleeping soundly and cold six feet down

Cadence in the silence

Putting burdens aside

In bleak blackness nothing matters but the end

Ask yourself some perplexing questions

Quickly now your consciousness is caving in

Was your journey worth it? Did you win the mortal race?

Because the finish line you steadily ran to

Happens to be a breathless grave

All that remains of your world

A worn grave bearing your forgotten name

One day all that is left is everything that is gone

No remorse for the buried

For the dead sing no song

Author's Note

Because our time is limited and we only have one chance our time means something. This is what death means to me. Don't regret; you don't have time to. As for this piece... just wrote it on a whim. Maybe I'll come back to it and maybe its perfection lies in its flaws. Hope you enjoy :].

I can't really even find the words to explain why this is so great. The words you chose, the flow, and especially the topic. Truly incredible, nice job.

Write more. You're good at it.

I really liked this. We all have our own views on death and topics like that. Some belive we go to Hell, others don't. We all have different beliefs. Some people regret and dwell on the past, others don't. The ones who don't regret are the ones who deserve the best that they try for. If they try hard enough, they should get a good enough reward in the end, as opposed to someone who didn't try at all. Each person is on a different level. It's all a part of the game of life.

Despite the fact that it was a bit long to read, I still enjoyed it! I totally agree with your thoughts that time is indeed limited and we shouldn't regret anything :)
