the dotted line gets broken
fail safe isn't an option
with my heart laying in the open
the past shrinks in the distance
it fades in all its glory
how could I have missed this
the storyline to this story
I see the ocean crashing
under now the blood red sky
lightning flashes closely
thunder rumbling nearby
I seal it with a windblown kiss
I view all of its destruction
what echoes in the emptiness
is a song without conduction
I climb the ladder without success
a poet at a loss for words
I bow my head in silence
and pray without accord
you had me from the beginning
but I got lost in my part
nights grow long and lonely
while my heart sings in the dark
