Time Before The EndA Poem by Shawn PurcellThe feeling of things winding down, when passion is burning strong and you can't tear yourself away.
The flame beneath my skin As I hang with despair Restless at your lips When, "Goodbye's" resting On the tip of your next word. And the wonder leaves me burning.
Chorus You bent me with your words And broke me with your smile... Put me back together Start at the seams.
This needn't be so complicated There's time before the end. So change your mind and come and save me Change your mind and come and save me There's time before we end So change your mind and come and save me.
Bridge Can't I be more, Than a walk on in your story?
Something more, Than dry ink on our page.
In you I am defined As I change with each decision. And now the vast gap between us. Where time tricks the mind, Hurt meets creation, And ghosts bring back the pain. © 2013 Shawn Purcell |
