Description Oxygen, older than time
Travels through
Deep
Caverns, dark
Patterns in the sky.

Weaving back and
out and in,
and it's running back
At the drop of a pin.

The viscosity of love and lust,
the difference between
deception and mistrust,
and I promised
nothing
yet you took that chance.
And forgiveness was
never part of the plan.

But what if I just stop,
and turn
back into oxygen
and decay
and earth?
Become a timeless entity,
thicker than love
and eternity?
Stronger than any bond
I could break,
More basic than
any life I could take?

The curtain collapses
On an empty stage,
Though the audience
Will rant and rave,
Be it so.
A martyr without a cause,
Only appears out of loss.
Though she will rejoin
Her rightful kin-

Negative space and oxygen.

It's choppy, gives it a good primal feel.
