Ultimate Departure

10723

Oh, it went away
My last thoughts fight was about keeping it
Were they even real
What happens to the things that slip away

I’m shaking like an empty bottle
In despair to extract even the rest
The little bit I need for a taste
Shaking gets harder over the years

How do you handle the sudden stop
Is it okay or do you stay in motion
You can fight it if you give it all
Conquering yourself for a brief moment

But it’s floating right, so is there even such thing
A moment, an unmoving state, a pause
Everything is coming and leaving at the same time
I was ready to keep you and its now my loss

And sometimes when panic arrives
I wish it’d be departing sooner
But those things know to linger
Teasing and haunting and clinging

You learn to live with them because you must
It’s like getting used to dying
An ultimate departure every day
You never learned to live with them

There is an anticipation
Always has been
Always coming
And then remaining
