The Unexplained Horizon

Written February 6, 2011


I seem to stare glazed at unexplained existence
As your eyes traverse an unexplored horizon
Of what I've always known

Wastelands of past recovered memories
Dance in your mind of an unrelenting distance
That you've made no effort to close

Once near futures become far too distant memories
To watch the focus turn away from the sun
And all I do is bite my tongue

Revolve around just like a carousel that's wandering
I'm far from being done with all these enemies I'm finding
Closer than what comfort's found

Take me down away from all these feelings
Feel like walls are closing in around me
And yet I make no sound

The candle's rekindled one too many times
The flame would shout
That the sun has just burnt out

As I traverse the unforgiving frozen tundra
These thoughts I just can't help repeating
Oh why did I bite my tongue?
