Compassion Protocol

Running, running, screaming pain and Torching muscles hushes brain End of thinking, stillborn doubts I won't give up even if I can't win I shall run until I can't breathe City veins respiring, pulsing Highway networks wave-collapsing Ocean swallows few last buildings Lonely lane splits the liquid Blissful silence hides in pain Faster, faster, I can taste it It is all set up against it Labyrinthine tortured mind I shall die or I shall find Crouching tiger leaping against the wind Cold night snow on my face Putting me to sleep I relapse into vision and see A wall of steel Coming at me Rapidly I feel my hands freeze up Is my will strong enough Would I draw my last breath, or Would I keep living this empty lie I don't know anymore What did I keep living for Shutting out, in my mouth I taste its bead One breath post my last Shakes snowy blanket clean I walk back home with new understanding But I, being dead Have nothing Not even my dreams I've spread my ashes Underneath your feet Tread as you wish For you tread on Nothing
