Pushing away forevers:
Death in Life
gossimer wings don't protect anymore,
Each end begins anew
Bitter-sweet goodbyes are the only moments left,
to be treasured singly;
the peeling away of colourful skins,
to reveal the bright darkness.
The profound darkness envelops warmly,
the light, flighty life;
A life that yearns to fly away,
out of reach with the one it desires
Trapped, it waits:
with tears of laughter,
that resound for an eternity
(just one)
like a long lost love, finally returned
