Ceduna

Looking back
Reflecting upon the choices we've made
The hardships we claim
We all rely on desire to shape our selfish nature
Obscurities, we find fascinating
Of childhood memories, absence shines through
I stand back and witness this genetic trend
Forever destroying, what I took for granted

Failure will drag me down
There is no poetry in this
We cannot erase
The experiences
We have been dealt
For it makes us who we are today
Canvas stripped clean
Erased back to where we began
Red ink colours the page
The fire of my mind portrayed
Across the images we create

The sunset hits your aged face
I see the look in your eye
Once there was an ocean between us
Now brought together through the dissolution
Your confidence wavers
As you strike a match to light your cigarette

And your hands shake
And tremble and there
There aren't any words I can offer
I swear I know your name
But it's all for nought
And I bare this on my own
Believe in what you say
It's safer to drive alone
There's a delicate truth in our words
But so fragile, and so
I walk away
