Eclipse

Shhh
don't make a sound

The absence of light...
it held its distance
The air just knows to part
No one meets my eyes directly
No one sees the dark
I have walked through burning cities
I have crossed the frozen ground
What I carry has no name yet
What I lost was never found

The warmth was something borrowed
I gave it back in blood

I am the absence
before the darkness
I am what swallows all the light
I don't haunt these streets
I own them
I was made for this
the sliver of light
the eclipse into the night

be still the night...
feel your heart beat faster
Flames refuse to reach
Something in the world remembers
What it cannot speak
I have loved
I have buried
I have held and let the cold in
What remains is not a question
What remains just walks,
alone...

The grief became a posture
The posture became bone

I am the scream
before the darkness
I am what swallows all the light
I don't haunt these streets
I own them
I was made for this
the eclipse in the dark

I stood where she had been
I picked up what she left
I walked until the world
Forgot to keep its breath
And I did not look back
And I did not break down
I just pulled my hood lower
And I kept moving through
Fuck!
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I am the blade before the darkness
I am what swallows all the light
I don't haunt these streets I own them
I was made for this
I am the sun hiding behind the shadow
I am the eclipse, and I live in your nightmare
somewhere between reality and fear
shhhhh....
don't move....
too late....
your already dead....
