dying, dying, dead

Ridges
Burnt down bridges
Layers of prayers
Said in vain

Inches
Winks as winches
Reeling in the realer things
That clog your every vein

Mentally connected places
Shuffled deck can't find the aces
Take a heavy breath before you cry

Mom i'm dying everyday
A little harder when you say
That time with you is nothing short
Of fugitive or things of sort

Please don't take this the wrong way
I've said a lot of things but hey
The road will never end if we just
Find someone who's still alive to tend to

Symptoms
Words of wisdom
Tangibly convey
What falls on us

Cocktails
Lengthy emails
Signed by sighing
Giants in a rush

Forcefully forgotten faces
Rotten teeth still wearing braces
Take a heavy breath before you cry

Mom i'm dying everyday
A little harder when you say
That time with you is nothing short
Of fugitive or things of sort

Please don't take this the wrong way
I've said a lot of things but hey
The road will never end if we just
Find someone who's still alive to tend to

Every second, every minute of eternity
Is a moment too much lived
If the only thing you can bare to see
Is the fact that you have been carelessly
Dying, dying, dead
