Rift
Last night, in the moments my thoughts were adrift - And coasting a terrace, approaching a rift - Through which I could spy several glimpses beneath - Of the darkness the light from above could not reach - I spied wings of reason, herself taking flight - And upon yonder precipice saw her alight - And glared back at me one last look of dismay - As if she were the last one she thought I'd betray - So much better I said to myself - And drawing quite close to the top of the shelf - I struggled with destiny upon the ledge - And gasped when defeated he slipped off the edge - And silence contagious in moments like these - Consumed me and strengthened my will to appease - The passion that sparked me one terrible night - And shocked and persuaded my soul to ignite - [repeat second verse]
