Time Before The End

Time Before The End

A Poem by Shawn Purcell
"

The feeling of things winding down, when passion is burning strong and you can't tear yourself away.

"

 

The flame beneath my skin

As I hang with despair

Restless at your lips

When, "Goodbye's" resting

On the tip of your next word.

And the wonder leaves me burning.

 

 

Chorus

You bent me with your words

And broke me with your smile...

Put me back together

Start at the seams.

 

 

This needn't be so complicated

There's time before the end.

So change your mind and come and save me

Change your mind and come and save me

There's time before we end

So change your mind and come and save me.

 

 

 

Bridge

Can't I be more,

Than a walk on in your story?

 

Something more,

Than dry ink on our page.

 

 

 

 

In you I am defined

As I change with each decision.

And now the vast gap between us.

Where time tricks the mind,

Hurt meets creation,

And ghosts bring back the pain.
