No More Tomorrow.A Poem by Daniel KivlehanA soaring tale of despair.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
