Eternal Dawn

I wasn’t designed to be worshiped

Not immune to being blamed

I was born, like you

To carry the torch

& then be buried with the unnamed

 

I wasn’t designed to look better

Than any of shining knights around

I wasn’t born, like them

To rest with the damned

& follow the false hopes of the drowned

 

Now imagine something different

Someone more likely to fail

Living as if life is all a never ending trail

 

Imagine a heart barely beating

& eyes so hungry to see

Imagine fall in human form & then you’ll see me

 

Waiting for a stronger tide

A greater day

A faster lane

I read the sky, I saw the sign

No beauty this time

Only pain

 

Waiting for this dawn to end

I’ve never seen heaven unfold

I cannot feel the breath of fire

The kiss of ice

‘fore I grow old

 

’cause I wasn’t made to be followed

Through confusion already planned

I only know that here I found

My own way to live & understand

 

the sounds that no one ever hears

The king’s nightmares

Or joker’s tears

I’m here to feel, not lift the spell

That holds as one heaven & hell

 

But I wasn’t made to live forever

& yet, that’s where I came to be

The fields of life after the fall

That’s where once more you’ll see me

 

Eternally I awake

But I can’t open my eyes

I’ve never seen, until you came

The lights that come after sunrise

 

N.B.
