Endings

[Norman]

I lived today, for tomorrow’s dream I could see,

I lived today, for hope held my eternity,

I lived today, for all I wished seemed to be,

I lived today, for love stood beside me

I died today, for all I see cannot be.

[Norman]

If the sun rose today, I did not see

The clouds parted to all but me

Wrapped in a shroud

I beg ethereality

 

None shall see me,

I shall look no more upon this world,

None shall hold me,

Into my fortress I have crawled.

 

Build of the stone of my heart,

Hardened by the kilns of loss

Open fire my noon day sky

Bleaching my soul, alone I die.

 

-Norman

[Norman]

Small slice of tasted happiness

Leaves behind my death of thirst,

Its taste so sweetly had me fooled,

Its flavour over my senses ruled.

 

All I drink turns to dust,

Flavours of the world dismissed,

Mirrored in the single wall,

No way back, from here I fall.

 

-Norman
