i'm not here. only there. in your moments lost. yesterday deploying the last of its ammuniton. in a vain attempt to reclaim all the territories it's lost. but gone they are. as gone they've always been. from the moment they were it all began to leave.

like a snowflake that melts just before it touches the ground. the warm winter air still threatening. and into liquid it becomes the same, but different. as we flee the promises we wanted to, but can no longer keep. and everything we tried to be is lost to what actually is. dissolved like that lost snowflake. everything we gave vanished. because the time was not right. or the climate inappropriate.

our fault lies only in thinking that life would understand. there was no way to know . no means to predict how little it would care. how harsh would be that flight down into.

it was only us anyway. for all that was lost, there's so much we knew we never could take.

catching snowflakes on our tongues. well, we expected them to melt. but not so soon.
