No More Tomorrow.

No More Tomorrow.

A Poem by Daniel Kivlehan
"

A soaring tale of despair.

"

 Heaven could not wait for you...

To rest your weary eyes

And look up in dazed surprise

To a blackened sky        

But its alright

We all lived for tonight

No matter what was wrong or right

We all lived for tonight

You held my hand and whispered

I looked in your eyes and fell

It was a beautiful descent

Nothing since has captured the feeling of falling

Falling to an oasis

The violins soared overheard

The bassist;

Was already dead

So many thoughts in my head

With every single wall turning red

I sit in bed..

Listening to the recording of that fall

You stood tall, you stood tall you stood

Tall

I could never capture that broken mind

For every day the sun ever shined

I was engulfed in mankind

An endless torrent of pain

I could never see the same

Crouching in searing rain

Not again...

I just wanted to feel alive

Not be my own alibi

I was always shy

Yeah, “that guy”

But when we connected

The whole world felt real

An unshakable resolution

That fear could not defeat

A triumphant symphony

Roaring from the streets

Falling around in loved zeal

I finally felt what was real

The counter of a till

Was not flesh

The roar of an engine

Was not flesh

The screaming of sirens

Was not flesh

We were

Glorious marvelous transcendent flesh

Nothing could stop

Us

But eventually like anything:

We decayed

Time dealt its critical blows

The Armour of connection falling down onto a battlefield

Of charred deception        

Was it me?

Was it you?

I don’t know anymore, I don’t have a clue

All I know is that when this night is through

I won’t be holding you

A mutual control I will never feel again

Your laughter echoing until the end

I look down this vista of awe

Is THIS what life was for?

I have no idea, I have no encore

Is THIS what the soul was for?

I have no idea, I have no open door

I place one foot over the edge;

That piece of flesh was everything to me

Because unlike the others:

IT WAS REAL

I stay still

Stay calm

Deep breaths

We got this far

No, I got this far

If I jump now it will all be over soon

In front of the crescent moon

How pathetically poetic

I have always regretted

No more regrets

No more pain

No more sorrow

No more games

No more tomorrow.
