“I See It Begin (I See The End)” Day 346

Posted by Devin Mitchell Durbin on July | 8 | 2011 · Leave a Comment 

I’m on the verge
Of a crash
Of a burn
An explosion occurs.
My heart
In knots
I can’t seem to see.
Past the fire
Past the flames
Past the anger
In my heart.
I see
But I don’t know
Because it falls
And it grows
Like the eb
And the flow
Of the waves
It decays
Then washes
Everything away.

I’m on the verge
Of the end
Of a new beginning
With death
and life
On the edge of my brain
I see
But I don’t
The lies
And the right side
The bright side is
That life still goes on.
And maybe I’m wrong
But I can’t lie
I’m losing sight
Of what is right.
Only one thing
Only you
Keep me going.

I’m on the verge
Of the sky
Of the dropoff
I have no wings
But I can fly.
I’ve got words
I’ve got pictures
I’ve got you
I’m falling
I’m twisting now
Falling down and then
The shadows go
There is nothing
There is everything.
I see the fire burning
I see it. The end.
But I know it begins.
