Comparison
Between A Run and A Departure
Running towards an end, an endless end,
Encrusted with meaningless faces, void of feeling.
I am nothing to them but to her I am more,
Not a senseless wreck, but a person of life.
The way is hard, but it leads to her,
But she is going, like the ground being covered,
For she is falling helplessly away.
Perhaps she is gone for good,
No more those soft winter nights.
Life will once more become a race
A cloying, unscientific mess leading to lifeless limbs.
But then I have the security,
The security that the end must come.
The race must be won, perhaps not by me,
But by someone else, somebody who might matter.
Then once again I have the security
To ensure your return, a return made sweet
By a departure that was too sour.
I know as I turn the corner that the finish is there,
The lights are bright, the endless nights without sleep
Are almost over and at an end ......
FINISHED
