Description
~Extol~

Everything changed,
On the ascent through life you climbed upon small victories,
You were tight rope walking on a thread over all of your fears,
You didn't have to go far,
Your wrong steps had you scattered everywhere,
You pulled yourself back together every time,

Continued on your way, but in a different direction,
I didn't know how close I got, in the beginning,
You could have set yourself on fire and I would have burned,
What inhibited the ability to think was the same as what inspired the dreams,
I didn't want to lose it, but the closer I held on to it, the smaller it became,

It's a shame that I'm so fickle, embarassed for the simple things that I miss,
The little things that we long for when the other is away just to feel as though you were there,
What do we have to show for how hard we fought?
Your ephemeral body, your transient presence like vapor through my fingers,
It's all the same,
Now there is a hole,
I will not contort in pain, memory serves me well to keep you here.
