Left to the Dirt
I am left to the dirt
 Decaying
 Rotting under the black sun
 I await the Reckoner
 The cubicles
 To
 Drop down
 And caress me away
 
 I am left to the dirt
 The world has moved on
 Past and past
 Through and through
 Leaving me to burn
 
 A wolf at the door awaits
 My return from my future
 So I may swell in my past
 The days that meant something
 Only to become unto nothing
 Hiding out under my dreams
 A basin thereof
 
 Shallow and deep
 Ageless and forever
 Remorse and Regret
 Is what I am
 A pain
 Black as the shallows
 Unto my soul
 Yellow and blue
 Mindless In hue
 Left to the dirt
 Below
 
 The sun rises in one place
 And I wait for it 
 The dreams of my child-hood
 Vanish with the moon
 As the sun breaks over the valley’s
 My heart cracks
 
 
 You stand so far above me
 My throne of dirt
 Looking down upon me
 Swaying gently with the wind
 I must be great
 Greater than I am
 A comedic prestige
 A joke
 
 Left to the dirt
 My body rots
 In the heat of the light
 In the call
 Of the ocean
 In the albedo of the purest snow
 I am
 Left Behind
