Brittle Walk

Nothing prepared me for this engagement
Strangled, nothing allowed me to breathe

Now that I'm watching you prepare your grave
Insisting you've always been this way
I know damage was done
Mistakes were made

Treading my brittle path while remembering what I've done
Standing my fragile ground while remembering what I’ve lost
Stranded in shadows of overseeing trees, remembering
Dwelling on who I was but not remembering who I am

I'm the lightless sun
Draining skies like you've become

I can't feel the ground beneath me
