Splendor
By Spiritus_Frumenti
I am incapable of looking at the sky
and not imagine it falling,
Somehow convinced that tragedy is perfection,
I feel like the world is easily destroyed by longing
All too often breaking apart at the presence of wonder
Insisting that there’s no need for desire
If I am here to live forever
Everywhere,
The immensity of life weakens me,
As I become a mere wanderer
Growing infinitely wise and equally lost
In my heart,
I have grown tired of the passing seasons
Of all the absent reasons why tomorrow will be here
When I cannot continue anymore
Always awaking to feel like crying
In a seeming immortality,
Without God
I can’t deny that truth has caused something in me to die
Crushing more than just dreams
Slaying me in a way I never knew was possible
As I mourn for an end that has happened
The most intimate thoughts laid to rest
in a place that I cannot bury
Where I cannot find closure
If truly I am here to live forever…

I think the title was well picked; it is unliked you, this piece, in that you are for the most part concerned with tragedy as perfection, but here it is more a confession - a personal, rather than an abstract quality...

"Of all the absent reasons why tomorrow will be here" Stuck in an immortality you're no longer certain you want...to be lifeless among a world that feels less often than it breathes...excellent imagery here. ~*Beth*~

Heart-throbbing I was left to stare blankly at the screen, having that eerie chill seep into my spine, the emotion I had with this was beyond speakable, the overpowering waves of what you put into this left me to sit and wonder~Gothic
