This here is where it ends and it’s too late.
My feet are planted firm and I’m rooted,
I’m hot behind the eyes and damnit if I’m mute,
I’m telling you I’m making my final stake.
Please just save your breath the day’s already gone
And your words feel like hollow vibrations,
Now, your eyes aren’t any constellation—
Just black sockets filled with cold alabaster stone.
And I’d end it all if you didn’t sing
So damn softly, and if you didn’t wimper
and wail. If you didn’t stand and linger
I’d be through. But here I am, and I cringe
at my tired bones. All I can do is drag this weight
to the man in the mirror and say,
sorry old boy,
it’s too late.
