P

Between Two Cliffs

At that edge where the sketch begins to fade
And the ledges of two sides of fate rattles the pearly gates
Caught suspended animation
Like a glitch
Like a clutch in that curtain call moment of a great stage play
That all the pressure of time and space and everything in-between
Meet together as the gravity that holds the Great Stage at its center
And crush The Soul at the tail end of the nether
When I can't tell anymore whether it's an angel chorus or a demon's feast in slaughter
The peril that comes from two ends
all wrapped up in a name that meets you at the Cor
This is the destiny of the interstice
Where the I first saw it had a choice to be made
To hold on to one paradise
in exchange for another
To lop off one halve to Gehenna
For the flames embrace to as great If not greater
And a Curse Mark of flesh and pure
Shrouded within The Eclipse
That torn apart Our worlds
To cast Our roles as the I and U
In this play these two eyes can't turn away from
We hold the torch through these inevitable gallows Until the space between can no longer stand still to be without
...
And that's where I'll find U
once and for all
And never let Us go
For the Dream will be what We make it to be
Forever and ever
At last
